💪🏼 HIGH PROTEIN WRAP 💪🏼
This breakfast wrap packs a punch with a whopping 63g of protein - without any powders or bars in sight! An egg wrap loaded with ham, chicken, lettuce and tomatoes 🤤
But what’s the buzz with protein? In a nutshell, proteins are essential nutrients required for the growth, repair and maintenance of bodily tissues. They’re important for enzyme production, immune function and hormone regulation. Along with carbohydrates and fats, proteins are one of the three primary macronutrients your body needs to function.
Our bodies are like buildings that undergo constant renovation – a few bricks are replaced every day. All proteins are made up of 20 basic building blocks called amino acids. Nine of these are considered essential because they can’t be produced by our bodies, so we have to get them from the foods we eat. We create the remaining 11 from those nine essential amino acids.
During digestion, proteins are broken down into amino acids and absorbed into the bloodstream. These amino acids are then reassembled to create the specific proteins the body needs to function at its best. They also help you to feel fuller for longer 🙌🏼 a big win when you’re trying to lose weight!
It’s recommended that we consume roughly 0.75g of protein each day per kg of body weight (so roughly 60g for a 12st 7lb adult, or 70g for a 16st adult) - and despite what marketing may make you think, most people hit that recommendation without even trying 😉 but there is growing evidence to suggest that a slightly higher intake may support healthy ageing 🧬
