Importance of Protein
Moves your body from a catabolic state (burn muscle as energy & store fat) into an anabolic state (burn fat as energy & build muscle). To stay in an anabolic state, protein intake is required every 2 to 3 hours during the day.
Ask yourself 2 things now:
1. Am I eating protein first thing in the morning to transition into an anabolic state?
2. Am I consuming protein frequently enough to be in a fat-burning state all day?
