Protein is the new diet buzz word - is it an essential nutrient - as important to monitor as carbohydrates, fat, or cholesterol - and a prime player in a person's well-being, fitness and mood.
'The Protein Counter' contains all the up-to-date information you need to calibrate the best protein balance for you, based on your activity level, age, weight, and overall health, and it includes thousands of organic and vegetarian products to help ensure that vegetarian diets contain enough high-quality protein. The book also contains your daily protein requirements in situations of stress, exercise, weight loss, illness, injury, pregnancy and surgery and enables you to determine your own protein needs - in four easy steps - for peak performance. Understanding protein can help you maximize your training with increased muscle mass and boost your immune system.
The book also includes information to help you understand amino acid supplements, energy bars, power drinks and much, much more.
