Protein is critical to many processes that occur in your body. For example a 2022 review in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests the importance of eating protein for muscle recovery and strength after resistance training. A 2021 review in Frontiers in Immunology highlights the role of protein in immune support. Protein is also important for healthy weight management.

It is incredibly important to include protein in your diet every day to support your overall health. It is recommended that most Americans consume about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight although this amount can vary from person to person. This equates to a 150-pound person needing about 55 grams of protein per day.
