We know it’s important to have protein in the diet.
It helps repair and build muscle, optimize hormones and is great for skin, bones, cartilage and blood production.
We also know it helps with fat loss due to proteins ability to hold and even build muscle when in a caloric defect (fat loss diet).
At Transformation HQ, we recommend 1g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight.
But what if you’re eating meats but still can’t get enough protein in your diet? You could be a vegetarian, vegan or just don’t like eating meat.
