Why Protein Matters
The nutrient that protects everything else
Most people know they should eat more protein. Fewer know why it works.

What's inside
- How muscle protein synthesis drives growth and repair
- Why protein has the highest thermic effect of any macronutrient
- How protein influences the hormones that control your appetite
- What body recomposition means and how protein makes it possible
