Incorporating high protein foods into your diet can also aid in weight loss and weight management. Protein has been shown to increase feelings of fullness and reduce cravings, leading to a decrease in overall calorie intake.
Some examples of high protein foods include lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, beans, and nuts. It is important to consume a variety of protein sources to ensure that the body is receiving all of the essential amino acids needed for optimal muscle growth and overall health.
