Proteins - Matt Bryan

Proteins are a nutrient made up of amino acids.  The amino acids given from food are a type that our bodies can not naturally produce.  These acids need to be absorbed through your diet.  Some foods that give us proteins are meat, nuts, and eggs.  A daily amount would be around 18g per kilo of body weight.
