About the application:

- What are proteins? Proteins are one of three basic macronutrients that provide energy to the human body, along with fats and carbohydrates. Proteins are also responsible for a really big portion of the work that is done in cells; they are important for proper structure and function of tissues and organs, and also act to regulate them. They are comprised of a number of amino acids that are essential to proper body function, and serve as the building blocks of body tissue. There are 20 various amino acids in total, and the sequence of amino acids determines a protein's structure and function. While some amino acids can be synthesized in the body, there are 9 amino acids that humans can only receive from dietary sources (insufficient amounts of which may sometime effect in death), termed essential amino acids. Foods that provide all of the essential amino acids are called complete protein sources, and contain both animal (meat, dairy, eggs, fish) as well as plant-based sources (soy, quinoa, buckwheat). Proteins can be categorized based on the function they provide to the body. Below is a list of some types of proteins1: Antibody—proteins that protect the body from foreign particles, such as viruses and bacteria, by binding to them Enzyme—proteins that assist form fresh molecules as well as perform the a lot of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body Messenger—proteins that transmit signals throughout the body to maintain body processes Structural component—proteins that act as building blocks for cells that ultimately let the body to move Transport/storage—proteins that move molecules throughout the body As can be seen, proteins have a lot of necessary roles throughout the body, and as such, it is necessary to provide sufficient nutrition to the body to maintain healthy protein levels. - How much protein do I need? The amount of protein that the human body requires everyday is dependent on a lot of conditions including overall energy intake, growth of the individual, and physical activity level. It is often estimated based on body weight, as a percentage of total caloric intake (10-35%), or based on age alone. 0.8g/kg of body weight is a commonly cited suggested dietary allowance (RDA). This value is the minimum suggested value to maintain primary nutritional requirements, but consuming more protein, up to a certain point, may be beneficial, depending on the sources of the protein. The suggested range of protein intake is between 0.8 g/kg and 1.8 g/kg of body weight, dependent on the a lot of factors listed above. People who are highly active, or who want to build more muscle could generally consume more protein. Some sources2 recommend consuming between 1.8 to 2 g/kg for those who are highly active. The amount of protein a person could consume, to date, is not an exact science, and each individual could consult a specialist, be it a dietitian, doctor, or private trainer, to assist determine their individual needs. - Foods high in protein There are a lot of various combinations of meal that a person can eat to meet their protein intake requirements. For a lot of people, a really big portion of protein intake comes from meat and dairy, though it is possible to receive enough protein while meeting certain dietary restrictions you might have. Generally, it is easier to meet your RDA of protein by consuming meat and dairy, but an excess of either can have a negative health impact. There are plenty of plant-based protein options, but they generally include less protein in a given serving. Ideally, a person could consume a mixture of meat, dairy, and plant-based foods in order to meet their RDA and have a balanced diet replete with nutrients.
