We need protein in our diet to stay strong and healthy.  If we don't eat enough our bodies will steal it from our  muscles and organs. In fact, protein is essential for the development of our muscles, which lead to an increase in the burning of calories. Our muscles could be described as fat furnaces as they keep our metabolism running high. Eggs are great complete protein sources.
How much protein do I need? :
  • Women typically need 80 -100g of protein in their diet per day (calculation based on height and weight)
  • Men need 100-150g protein  per day
