Proteinâenergy wasting (PEW) is the state of decreased body stores of protein and energy fuels (that is, body protein and fat masses). This abnormality is often associated with diminished functional capacity related to metabolic stresses.
One of the initial effects of low dietary protein is a decrease in muscle mass, which can also lead to increasing physical weakness. When you donât consume enough amino acids from the protein-rich foods in your diet to synthesize new proteins as your body needs them, your body breaks down muscle fibers and sends the amino acids to cells with a more immediate need for protein. Over time, you can experience muscle wasting.
