1 Proteins Workhorse molecules of all living things Every cell in the human body contains protein. Found in: beef, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, legumes

2 Protein Structure The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. Amino acids link together in various combinations to make thousands of different proteins

3 Amino Acids ► 20 amino acids ► The body can’t make some of these  Essential amino acids: must be included in the food we eat

4 Protein Function ► Structural support ► Defense against germs ► Help body build and repair cells

5 Eating Proteins When you eat foods containing protein, the digestive juices in your stomach and intestine break down the protein into basic units—amino acids. Recommended Protein Allowance: 46-52 grams/day = 11g protein = 21g protein

6 Protein Shakes High levels of all essential amino acids Glutamine: conditionally- essential (intensive athletic training) -Aids in muscle recovery
