High-Protein Recipes
You can fight over fat and carbohydrate ratios for weight loss but you can’t fight over protein. Whether you are into low-fat, high-carb or high-carb, low-fat is a personal preference. That doesn’t matter as much as your protein intake does.
In this article, Moon and Koh discuss how high-protein diets above recommended guidelines continue to show a favourable reduction in fat mass with no sacrifice to loss in resting energy expenditure.
Also, we need to consider the fact that protein is not stored in the body like fats and carbs, so we need to eat it frequently throughout the day. Here’s a great article to read on Dr. Stuart Phillip’s daily protein recommendations.
