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.
Getting enough protein in your diet is important to maintaining healthy tissue. During digestion, your body breaks dietary protein down into small subunits, called amino acids. Your cells can then reassemble those amino acids into the thousands of proteins needed to maintain your tissues, as well as support cell growth.
