It’s important to include protein in every meal, including breakfast.  Adding protein to every meal helps with weight loss and overall improved health and wellness.

Protein is essential to building muscle and can be derived from animal and plant sources. The U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. A 165-pound adult would need about 60 grams of protein per day.

There are several sources of protein such as:

  1. Fatty fish
  2. Beans
  3. Meat
  4. Seeds
  5. Nuts
  6. Eggs
  7. Dairy

These sources of protein don’t have to be consumed every day but should become a regular part of your diet.
