About this episode
Preserving your muscle mass is a hot topic lately when it comes to maintaining a good metabolism and healthy weight. When you're losing weight, ideally you want to lose fat and not muscle. Eating protein is necessary to keep and grow your muscles, while having good muscle mass is crucial for your metabolism for weight loss. In this episode, our dietitians explain why protein is important for weight loss, what the best sources of protein for weight loss are, how much protein you need, and ideas on how to actually make eating protein doable.
