It
is important to eat protein in the diet says Houston personal trainer
Melissa, because protein is the more filling than fat or carbohydrates.
When choosing a protein, it is good to look for one that has the least
number of calories and of all animal proteins, turkey has the fewest
calories per ounce. Turkey has the amino acid leucine which helps the
body retain muscle mass when a personal training client is attempting a
weight loss program. Preserving muscle mass is key to keeping a fast
metabolism because muscle is almost 24 percent more dense than fat in
the body and requires more calories to maintain it.
Most personal trainers take some protein in the form of protein shakes
or supplements but the most ideal form of protein comes when eating
real food instead of engineered food. Balance and consistency is the
key.
