Did you know this about lean protein?

There is a lot to say about protein. Did you know, for example, that there is such a thing as lean protein? Lean protein is an important part of a healthy, balanced diet, especially for people who want to reach a healthy weight or keep their muscle mass. At SportMeals we know a lot about high-protein food, and that includes lean protein. Want to know more? Keep reading!

THIS IS LEAN PROTEIN

Lean protein is rich in nutrients and low in calories and fat. Saturated fat and calories make way for a complete source of protein. To give you an idea, here are some examples of foods with lean protein. Examples

of lean protein are:

• chicken

• turkey

• fish

• eggs

• low-fat dairy products

• tofu

• beans

These foods contain high-quality protein that is essential for

muscle building, recovery and growth, but at the same time contain relatively few calories and little fat.

WHY IS LEAN PROTEIN IMPORTANT?

Lean protein is important for several reasons. First, protein is already an essential building block for our body. Protein helps build, maintain and repair mainly tissue and muscles. But also bones, cartilage, skin and hair. So while protein is healthy in itself, lean protein does even better thanks to its relatively low fat and calories.

GOODBYE, HUNGER

Second, lean protein helps you feel full for longer and reduces your hunger. This can help you consume even fewer calories. As a result, protein can ultimately help you lose weight.

LEAN PROTEIN AS YOUR ‘WORKOUT BUDDY’

Lean protein also supports muscle growth and recovery after exercise. During exercise, muscles get damaged and the body has to repair and build them. Lean protein is essential for this process, because it provides the building blocks of muscle. By consuming lean protein after exercise, your body can repair and build muscle faster, so you can reach your fitness goals sooner.

A BETTER METABOLISM WITH LEAN PROTEIN

Finally, lean protein also helps boost your metabolism. Protein has a thermic effect, which means the body burns more calories to digest and absorb protein than carbs or fat. This can boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories, even when you are not exercising.

KEEP VARYING YOUR PROTEIN

It is important to have a varied diet that contains different kinds of protein, including lean protein, but also plant-based protein and protein from fattier sources in limited amounts. So think of a good mix of protein from fish and, now and then, certainly protein from meat.
