Protein is a macronutrient, which means that it is a required type of food for the growth and development of your body. Protein works harmoniously with its sibling macronutrients – carbohydrate and fat. Protein is then broken up into nutrients called amino acids; which are considered the building blocks of protein. It’s important for your body to eat foods considered to be high in amino acids because our bodies can’t produce all of the essential amino acids. But, what proteins have all of these essential amino acids that we need? Finding the right protein is crucial in the process of healthy living.
