-Proteins are not as easily used as a fuel source compared to Carbohydrates, on a typical day proteins account for only somewhere around 10% of daily energy. However, as Proteins take longer to process they act as a longer-lasting source of energy

-One of the ways proteins can provide energy is by helping to repair and build muscle tissues

-In reality, there is actually 5.2kcal per gram of protein, however about 1.25kcal per gram is lost as a nitrogenous substance in urine, thus its real energy value is closer to 4kcal per gram

-The key functions of protein are;

1. Building and repairing of the body
2. Transporting oxygen and nutrients. 
3. Fighting infection. 
4. Regulating hormones (some).

This amounts to:

56 grams per day for the average sedentary man
46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman
This may be enough to prevent deficiency, but the amount you need depends on many factors, including your activity level, age, muscle mass, physique goals, and overall health.]]> 2021-08-19 04:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685434108 ivysu0108 https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685434882 Proteins have many shapes and sizes, which allow them to provide different functions.

It is worth mentioning that these foods are also a great natural source for Leucine (an essential, branched-chain amino acid required for the growth and repair of muscle, skin and bone)]]> 2021-08-19 04:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685436271 https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685438243 -proteins contain nitrogen (N) atoms in addition to the same atoms as carbohydrates and lipids—carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). These
nitrogen atoms give the name amino (nitrogen-containing) to the amino acids that make the links in the chains of proteins.
- All amino acids have the same basic structure—a central carbon (C) atom with a hydrogen atom (H), an amino group (NH2), and an acid group (COOH) attached to it ]]> 2021-08-19 04:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685438243 yhou3299 https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685438520 Protein consist of about 20 common amino acid.

As a result, diets high in protein tend to be more satiating and have a strong correlation to greater health markers. ]]> 2021-08-19 04:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tfen3100/3abxyk1y6m2y1mif/wish/1685442160
