THE ROLE OF PROTEIN

Protein is one of the most vital and most important foods in order to build muscle or lose weight. Protein is all over your body and it is the building blocks for muscle growth. Found in foods such as chicken, fish, even tofu, protein helps repair older cells and produce new cells in your body. Other ways to get your protein is protein shakes. Protein shakes are a fast and reliable way to get protein into your body quickly. It is also an easier way if you don't have that much time to cook food.

CARBOHYDRATES

As carbohydrates are the first source of energy for our body, without it, protein from our muscles will be used meaning that our body will effectively eat its own muscles!

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love to sit down and have a nice big bowl of pasta, or eat bread all day, but sometime people misuse cabrs and eat it when they don't need to. I've tried cutting breads out of my diet because I found that my skin folds were getting to high. But other than that, carbs are a good source of energy for your body. Fats (lipids) are required for many bodily processes and provide vital nutrients for the good bacteria in our intestines that helps us digest our food!

I like to eat carbs before and after a workout with some protein :)
