Why Protein Matters for Lean Energy
- Enhances Satiety and Supports Weight Management : Studies show that high-protein intake increases feelings of fullness by influencing hunger and satiety hormones like ghrelin, GLP-1, and cholecystokinin—helping reduce overall calorie intake while preserving lean mass.
- Boosts Metabolic Burn & Preserves Muscle :Protein has a higher thermic effect than carbs or fats, meaning you burn more calories digesting it. Plus, it helps maintain muscle during weight loss, which supports a healthy metabolism.
- Supports Bone Health and Recovery: Regular protein intake contributes to stronger bones, improved recovery, and better physical performance.
