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 responsible for many processes in your body, not just one single function. One of its main roles is to act as a structural component of cells and tissues. Without adequate protein in your diet, your cells and tissues would not be able to function. Proteins are large, complex molecules made up of smaller amino acid compounds. Some amino acids are made by your body and are nonessential, but others are essential, meaning that you need to get them from your diet.
