Proteins are like a chain of pearls in our body. And they are as valuable to us as pearls. The smallest unit of protein is an amino acid. And there's nine essential amino acids that we need to get in our diet. Essentially, you have to get it from your diet, combining the essential and the non essential equates to 20 amino acids. Now, as I talked about this in the nutrition manual, these 20 amino acids combine in all different ways very similar to the alphabet.

So when we eat carbs without a quality protein, we basically have a spike in insulin and a decrease in glucose going to the muscles, and other key places in our body. That's very important. So to answer your question, the best way to get protein is to think protein first for every snack, which actually is much more emotional eating than hunger. The more high quality protein consumed, the sooner it is satisfied as experienced.
