Protein
You can lift weights every single second of every day, but if you’re not properly fueling your body inside and outside of the gym, you’re not going to see the results you want. Likewise, weight loss and weight management start with a diet packed with nutrients like protein.
Getting your protein intake is one of the most important aspects of making sure your body can perform at its best and stay healthy.
Fuel for Your Fitness Goals
Protein is a macronutrient that is used as an energy source by the body, though its main purpose is to help you regenerate your muscles and stimulate muscle growth. Not to mention, it makes up the enzymes that carry oxygen in your blood and can be found in almost every part of your body’s muscles and tissues.
You can get protein from whole foods to boost your muscle mass. Meat is a main protein source, but you can get vegan protein from plant-based sources. Some of the best plant sources of protein include brown rice, peanut butter, chia seeds, and yellow peas. TB12 protein powders use pea protein from yellow peas as a highly effective source of plant-based fuel.
There are also many different types of protein used by athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts. Common options include whey protein, casein protein, and brown rice protein. Lesser-known powders include egg white protein and grass-fed collagen peptide powder.
However, some people have trouble digesting certain protein supplements, particularly whey protein powder, while others simply prefer to live a plant-based lifestyle. If you’re having trouble digesting a powder made with whey protein concentrate or want to avoid animal-based products, making your protein shakes with plant protein may be a better alternative.
You need at least one gram of protein per pound of body weight if you’re a performance athlete, and hitting your protein goals is nearly impossible from whole foods alone. But you can boost your protein intake with a protein blend, and TB12 has some of the best protein powders to enhance your performance.
