Protein is an important factor when it comes to fitness modeling, as it should also be for those pursuing weight loss programs. While restricting calorie intake and increasing workouts, one's muscle mass is compromised. This creates a problem because MUSCLE BURNS FAT. <---This is why it is also extremely important to include weight lifting in a weight loss program.
In order to preserve lean muscle tissue the correct amount of protein should be consumed. The NCSF states that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein is .9g per kilogram of body weight. Since this number reflects those of a sedentary lifestyle, most active and fit bodies need more.
The protein sources that keep me svelte and satisfied are fish (love tilapia), egg whites, chicken, and lentil beans.
