Document Summary
Producing vital body structures (muscles, connective tissue, mucus, clotting factors, transport proteins, lipoproteins, enzymes, antibodies, some hormones, visual pigments, support structure inside bones) Contributing to acid/base balance- proteins are h+ pumps. Making glucose (cant make glucose from fats) Contribute to satiety (feeling of being full) People who aren"t growing only need enough protein to replace what they lose daily from protein breakdown (i. e. : they need to be in protein balance) Positive protein balance: during growth, recovery from illness or injury, resistance training. Negative protein balance: acute illness, starvation, weightlessness. 70 kg*0. 8 grams/kg= 56 grams this is about 10% of total calories. Food and nutrition set upper range at 35% In us, typical protein intake is about 100 grams for men and 65 grams for women. High protein diet from animal sources- likely to be low in fiber, some vitamins, phytochemicals and high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
