PROTEIN: ARE YOU GETTING TOO MUCH, TOO LITTLE AND DOES IT MATTER?

Protein is an important part of every diet regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity. While males generally require more protein than females, it remains an important part of both gender's diets. So what foods contain high amounts of protein? Beef, chicken, fish, and almost any other food that comes from an animal, such as milk or eggs, is high in protein. But when choosing a source of protein for yourself, there is more to consider than the protein content alone. Some of the above sources of protein are also high in fat which may be bad for you depending on your body type. It is important to remember than too much protein can be as unhealthy as not enough, as it has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and heart disease, as well as lower overall life expectancy. This is generally because when someone is eating too much protein it is from food sources and excesses of those sources that are not healthy. Of course, too much of anything can be bad.
