THE IMPORTANCE OF DIETARY PROTEIN

Whole food sources of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and other nutrients are always essential for a healthy diet which your body needs to optimise function and maintain muscle.

Most of your daily protein intake should come from protein-rich foods.

Unlike fat and carbs, your body can’t store protein for future needs. Try to spread your daily protein intake out over the day instead of loading up on a single large meal. 

Your protein top-up
