There are 20 amino acids which can form a polypeptide strand that folds to form complex 3D structures.

- Their main function is to help the body grow and repair tissue by providing support to the body and supporting muscle contraction and movement 
- However they also have other functions 
- They make digestive enzymes that help facilitate chemical reactions
- Make antibodies that help support immune system 
- Support the regulation and expression of DNA and RNA 
- Move essential molecules around the body 
- Makes hormones that help coordinate bodily function 
Adequate protein intake is especially important in growth stages of life, such as childhood, adolescence, pregnancy and breastfeeding

An average healthy person should consume 10-30% of their daily calories from protein. ]]> 2021-08-18 23:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684911037 gchu9600 https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684911146 Protein has an energy content of 17 kJ / g ]]> 2021-08-18 23:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684911146 gchu9600 https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684920061 The efficiency of dietary protein digestion is high following the denaturation of molecules by acid in the stomach to form smaller peptides for the next stage of digestion. ]]> 2021-08-18 23:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684920061 gchu9600 https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684922751 Our body needs 22 amino acids to function, 13 of these our body can create by itself – these are known as non-essential amino acids. The remainder comes from our diet, known as essential amino acids. ]]> 2021-08-18 23:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684922751 gchu9600 https://padlet.com/gchu9600/gc143ksdmfj7lymj/wish/1684924709 Increasing protein into your diet will not instantly make you bulky and muscly – a common misconception, however a high protein diet (paired with right training and diet) will assist in muscle growth.
