Whey Protein Protein is ESSENTIAL to change your body composition. The most important nutrient when you are in a caloric deficit trying to lose body fat is protein. The goal is to lose fat, not muscle mass. By eating enough protein during a caloric deficit, you feed your muscles with amino acids, and reduce the chances of your muscle is broken down by cortisol. Higher protein consumption keeps you feeling satisfied longer and you’re less likely to do over-eat.
Build new muscle faster and easier by giving your body the protein and aminos it needs. Skeletal muscle serves as a storage site for amino acids to use in the rest of the body. Protein makes up cells, hair, skin, nails, and many other things in our body as well. Muscle regulates and drives a lot of functions in our body from regulating blood pressure, blood glucose, and fighting infections.
