Protein intake and weight loss

Introduction:

Many people will increase their protein intake as a helpful strategy for weight loss. But first, let us know how much protein from your total calories should come. Nutrition guidelines recommended an intake of 10-35% from total calories as protein.

Eating low calories is most important than increasing your protein intake in order to reach your goals. High protein consumption of 25-30% will eventually result in weight loss and eventually higher muscle mass and at the end burning more calories.

For athletes who exercise more than 10-12 hours per week, 1.2-1.7 grams of protein/kg is recommended while adults dieters need 0.8-1 grams of protein /kg.

Adding healthy protein food like lean chicken breast, tuna salad, eggs and other is more beneficial than supplements as they are high in protein, minerals, and vitamins while supplements are packed with sugar too.
