Every cell in your body needs protein. From muscle growth to digestion to skin health the protein you eat goes directly to maintaining your body’s health. There are 20 different amino acids that make up protein. Your body can produce 11 amino acids but the other nine must be consumed through food and are called “essential amino acids.” Protein sources that contain all nine essential amino acids include meat fish eggs dairy and soy products like tofu and edamame.
Another benefit of protein is that it keeps you full longer. Together with fiber protein reduces digestion and therefore helps you stay full and satisfied. In the summer when fruits and vegetables are plentiful it is easy to meet your fiber goals. Choose whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat bread instead of refined carbs like white bread and white pasta for an even bigger fiber and satiety boost.
