A: I would have to say that protein is the most important macronutrient for anyone who is trying to shed fat, build muscle and improve their overall health and wellness. The amino acids found in protein foods are used by the body to repair and restore all different types of tissues and cells, some of which help to regulate your metabolism, build lean muscle and burn fat. I suggest women eat 20-30g of protein at each of their 4-5 daily meals and men should aim for 30-40g of protein at each meal. But keep in mind that these are measurements of pure protein. So, a piece of chicken weighing 100g has approximately 25g of pure protein. If you have a question you’d like us to answer, email us at results@betterlifestudio.com.au.
