PROTEIN
Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting overall growth and maintenance of body tissues. It also plays a crucial role in muscle recovery and growth, especially after exercise.
• Daily Intake: Aim for 0.75 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight each day.
• Timing: Distribute your protein intake evenly throughout the day, ideally consuming protein at every meal.
