Where do you get your Protein?

This is something you will be asked on many occasions. First let’s break protein down a little bit. Protein is a macronutrient that is made up of chains of aminoacids, and we get these from the food we eat, either plant or animal. Our bodies are capable of combining the amino acids we eat and using them like building blocks to create protein. The body does not differentiate whether these amino acids came from a cow or a bean, provided we get enough of them.

You don’t need to obsess over counting the grams you take in, just make sure you’re eating plenty of protein-rich foods throughout the day and your body will look after the rest!
