Protein is found throughout the bodyâin muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. At least 10,000 different proteins make you what you are and keep you that way.
But the truth about protein is that many people don't need as much as they are taking in. Adults in the U.S. are encouraged to get 10% to 35% of their day's calories from protein foods.hen you're consuming too much of it, you're probably taking in more calories and fat than your body needs. You need protein because it has its hands in every critical function of the body, says Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
