Macronutrient review: Protein

Body Image, Eating Disorders, Health, Intuitive Eating

January 29, 2015

Protein provides the amino acids that are essential as the building blocks for your body.

Things protein does for your body:

  • Backup source of energy
  • Enzyme synthesis
  • Repair/maintenance of organs, bones and tissues
  • Production of hormones
  • Regulation of blood sugar
  • Produces satiety and helps control hunger

Tomorrow we'll cover…wait for it….FAT.  It's not a scary thing, contrary to popular belief.  You'll see!
