Protein is THE most important macronutrient when pursuing fat loss!
We know that calorie/energy balance is king when it comes to fat loss related goals.
However protein intake can directly impact fat loss by:
Having a high thermic effect of food - meaning it is harder to break down and digest than other nutrients which can positively affect your metabolism and increase energy expenditure.
It's highly satiating meaning it keeps you feeling fuller for longer. This can help curb cravings and limit snacking/consuming unwanted extra calories.
It helps you build more lean muscle tissue, more muscle demands more energy to run/move, increasing your baseline expenditure.
Helping you recover optimally from training. Meaning you can continue to progress and challenge your body during exercise.
