Why Is Protein So Important for Your Fitness Goals?

  1. Muscle Repair & Growth: Protein provides the essential amino acids your muscles need to rebuild after workouts. Without enough protein, you’ll struggle to recover and grow stronger.
  2. Satiety & Fat Loss: High-protein meals keep you fuller for longer, making it easier to stick to a calorie deficit without feeling constantly hungry.
  3. Metabolism Boost: Protein has a higher thermic effect—your body burns more calories digesting protein than it does carbs or fats.
