Protein and Weight Management â. Consuming a higher protein diet can help you lose weight. Protein helps regulate appetite and cravings by enhancing the feeling of fullness for longer after a meal or snack.
Protein is important for mass gains because it's the only nutrient that's capable of stimulating muscle growth. You should consume up to 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight daily. Eating every three hours will help ensure you're absorbing and assimilating enough protein to support muscle growth.
