Protein Is Important!
*Eating high-protein foods plays a huge role in a health and wellness journey.
*Protein is instrumental for building, repairing, and maintaining nearly every tissue in the body—from muscles and bones to enzymes, hormones, and immune components.
*Carbs and fats mainly provide energy(which our bodies also require) in moderation.
*Protein supplies your body for structural and functional purposes.
*High protien supports wellness goals like weight management, muscle preservation, and metabolic health
*Protein is the most filling. It suppresses hunger which leads to reduced overall caloric intake and cravings.
*During weight loss, adequate protein helps “spare” muscle so you lose more fat than lean tissue.
*Protein slows digestion of carbs, leading to more stable blood glucose and insulin responses.
*It can support healthier blood sugar control, which benefits energy levels, mood, and metabolic health. 
*Higher protein intake is linked to better bone density ~also important is calcium and vitamin D faster recovery from injury or surgery, and overall tissue repair. It may also aide in immune function and healthy aging. 
*Lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, clean protein shakes (whey or plant based) are just a few that provides a great deal of protein.
*Here are a few tips for your journey 
*Focus on whole-food sources, balance with veggies/fiber, and stay hydrated.
*Aim for protein at every meal/snack.
• Prioritize quality: Whole foods over ultra-processed or any processed if you can help it!
*Zero sugars
*In short, high protein isn’t a magic bullet,
*Track how you feel/perform, and tweak as needed.
