Protein is a high-molecular-weight organic compound essential for your body’s growth, cell repair, and overall function.
Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. There are about 20 different amino acids that combine in various ways. Your body uses them to create new proteins, such as those found in muscles and bones, as well as other compounds like enzymes and hormones. Protein can also serve as a source of energy when needed.
The recommended daily protein intake for most adults is about 2 ounces (56 grams). However, if you’re into sports or live a highly active lifestyle with regular physical exertion, your daily protein needs will likely be higher. To help you meet your goals, AdmiGram.com has created a simple, easy-to-read infographic showing which common foods are richest in easily digestible protein.
