Are you getting enough protein in your diet? Protein is a critical nutrient that is used by the body for a vast multitude of purposes, one of the most important being muscle repair. Individuals engaging in regular exercise should aim to get roughly 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, per day (a little more for men and a little less for women) Lean meats, eggs, fish, protein powders, cottage cheese, and soy are all excellent protein sources.
