When looking at any type of food, naturally occurring varieties are where you want your focus to be. Let’s start with Protein and why it’s so important. Besides supporting your immune system, protein also helps you shed fat and pack on muscle.

It helps you stay full and repairs your body, when injured or run down.



 


Good sources of protein are lean meats like:

Turkey Breast, Pork Tenderloin, Lean cuts of Beef and Chicken Breast
