According to Witherly, when you eat tasty food, there are two factors that make the experience pleasurable. First, there is the sensation of eating the food. This includes what it tastes like (salty, sweet, umami, etc.), what it smells like, and how it feels in your mouth.f you donât own it, you canât eat it. Furthermore, if you donât think about it, you canât be lured by it. Weâve talked about the power of junk food to pull you in and how memories of tasty food in the past can cause you to crave more of it in the future.
However, there are vastly different opinions on how much protein we actually need. Most official nutrition organizations recommend a fairly modest protein intake. The DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. This amounts to: 1  56 grams per day for the average sedentary man.  46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman.
Once you figure that out then you need to realize that the body calls for 1gram of protein per body pound. So if you weigh 160lbs. that means you need 160 grams of protein to maintain that weight. If you are bulking (trying to get bigger) then you should up your protein to 1.5grams per body pound.
