What are the lowest calorie protein sources?

Maximum protein for minimum calories?

Everyone needs a certain amount of protein each day. It is estimated that the protein needs of a sedentary person are around 0.8g of protein per kilo of weight per day (ie 56g of protein for a 70kg adult).

Protein is a nutrient and is essential for our growth and the maintenance of our life. Protein is one of the few “macro” nutrients and we need a lot of it.

However, it is not always easy to have an optimal protein intake without consuming too many calories. But to lose weight, only calories count.

Calories are the energy that fuels the body (muscles and muscular organs, such as the heart). The body stores “excess” calories as fat . When we have a calorie deficit, the body draws on this fat to fill in the missing calories.

It is important to not neglect protein intake during a calorie deficit in order to minimize the muscle loss that often goes hand in hand with weight loss.
