However the risks of using a high-protein diet usually with carbohydrate restriction for the long term are still being studied.
if a high-protein diet is followed for an extended time. Here are some problems that can happen to people on a high-protein diet:
Some high-protein diets don't provide enough fiber. This can cause constipation and intestinal inflammation. This may also increase the risk for cancer.
A protein-packed diet may cause liver or kidney problems. If you want to follow a high-protein diet do so only as a short-term weight-loss aid.
Also choose your protein wisely Zeratsky wrote on the Mayo Clinic website. She recommended eating fish skinless chicken lean beef pork and low-fat dairy products and carbohydrates that are high in fiber such as whole grains vegetables and fruit.
People with kidney disease liver disease or diabetes and those taking medication for a chronic health condition should talk to their doctor before starting a high-protein diet Zeratsky said.
The American Heart Association doesn't recommend high-protein diets for weight loss because people who stay on these diets very long may not get enough vitamins

#Should You Eat High-Protein Products? Although popular high-protein bars shakes and other products aren't the best way to get your protein experts say.
In 2012 19 percent of new food and beverage products launched in the United states were labeled as being high-protein according to Mintel a market research company.
That's higher than anywhere else in the world including India (9 percent) and the United kingdom (7 percent) Mintel said.
Proteins are essential nutrients found inside every cell in the body. They are used for growth
In general about 10 to 35 percent of your daily calories should come from protein according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.
Adult women should eat about 46 grams of protein a day and adult men should eat about 56 grams a day.
Most people in the United states actually get more than enough protein. A 2009 to 2010 U s. food survey found that on average women eat about 70 grams of protein per day
and men eat about 100 grams. See 3 Things You Need to Know about Eating Protein.
A bar or shake might seem like an easy way to get the recommended amount of protein
but you're better off getting the nutrient from real food some experts say I never recommend protein supplements said Katherine Tallmadge the author of Diet Simple (Lifeline Press 2011).
People need to be eating real food. High-protein bars and shakes are often high in calories
(and sugar) too and don't leave people feeling full in the same way that a well-rounded meal with a variety of flavors
Good sources of protein include meat poultry fish legumes (such as dry beans and peas) eggs milk and tofu according to the CDC.
Yogurt is a major protein source Tallmadge said. For people who want a nonperishable food to take on hikes
Heather Mangieri a nutrition consultant and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics agreed that ideally people should get protein from food.
But some people who have high caloric needs such as athletes may find it more convenient to get their protein
along with necessary extra calories from a high-protein product Mangieri said. Mangieri notes that our bodies typically use a maximum of 20 to 30 grams of protein from a single meal.
 Beyond that any additionalâ protein in a meal or bar won't confer an extra tissue-repair
or musclebuilding benefit Mangieri said. So it is important to space out protein consumption throughout the day consuming about equal portions at each meal.
For instance if you eat three meals a day you could consume about a third of your protein at breakfast a third at lunch and a third at dinner.
Pass it on: It's best to get protein from real food rather than from bars shakes or other supplements.

Eating enough protein while losing weight is more likely to minimize muscle loss and maximize fat loss.
The National Academy of Sciences in a recent report recommended Americans get at least 15 percent of their calories from protein
Low carb diets are often as high as 80 percent protein and can damage your health in many ways.)
or bone loss consider increasing your protein. How much protein? A personalized formula: Studies of aging populations have found that about 1. 2 grams to 1. 6 grams of protein per one kilogram of body weight helps to reduce age-related muscle and bone loss.
This amount should also be enough to maximize your workouts. Determine your ideal body weight. Example:
If you weigh 150 pounds this means the amount of protein you should eat is:
150 lbs (divided by 2. 2 lbs per kilogram)= 68 kg; 68 kg x 1. 2 grams of protein per kg of body weight=82 grams of protein daily.
For the maximum amount of protein multiply 68 kg x 1. 6 grams of protein per kg=109 grams of protein per day.
Where should you get protein? Protein can be found in a wide range of foods.
Animal protein is in seafood dairy products meat poultry and eggs. Vegetarian protein can be found in legumes soy vegetables and grains.
And while it's true that high-protein foods often bring fat and calories along as uninvited guests it doesn't have to be that way.
The lowest-calorie animal protein sources are the leanest. Go for seafood poultry with no skin lean veal cuts pork tenderloin lean beef cuts (such as the round or tenderloin) or 95-percent-lean hams (less than 3 grams of fat per ounce.
Skim milk nonfat yogurt and low-fat cheeses are also great options. Soy products provide great low-calorie options too
and are high-quality proteins that are lean substitutes for meat. To add some protein to your diet toss four ounces (120 grams) of lean beef chicken
or seafood or 12 ounces (36 grams) of spiced tofu into your salad. This will add 30 grams of high-quality protein and no more than 150 to 200 calories.
Here are the numbers for some other great sources of protein: 8 ounces milk or yogurt:
8 16 grams protein depending on the type 1/2 cup cooked beans or tofu: 8 grams protein 1 ounce meat/fish/chicken/cheese (the leaner the meat the more protein and the fewer calories:
7 grams protein 1 large egg: 7 grams protein 1/2 cup cooked or one ounce dry (1 slice bread) grain:
3 grams protein 1/2 cup cooked or one cup raw vegetables: 2 grams protein Timing is everything!
Eat a food or beverage high in protein about 20 minutes before and again immediately after your strength-training workout.
And do the same after a vigorous cardiovascular workout such as tennis or kayaking or even just a long walk.
When you work out you break down your muscles. Taking in a high protein food with a little bit of carbohydrate and nutrients when your muscles are being broken down by exercise will build your muscle mass and your strength more effectively.
And don't forget to drink water because you also need to make sure you hydrate yourself properly!
My personal regimen includes drinking some skim milk before my workout (all you need is about 1/2 a cup or about 4 grams of protein) and eating yogurt immediately after my workout or yoga session in the gym!
If I forget the yogurt I'll run to the nearest coffee shop after I exercise and buy a skim latte which contains milk
or soy milk for my protein. But I like yogurt the best: In addition to high-quality protein it contains important probiotics
which keep your gastrointestinal tract healthy. It also offers high-quality carbohydrates calcium potassium and magnesium important nutrients that you need to replenish your muscles.
Current thinking among protein researchers is that this nutrient is more bioavailable for your muscles
if eaten in relatively small quantities throughout the day. For women 20 grams per meal is the ideal amount the body can utilize efficiently.
For men that can go up to 30 grams per meal. So with my personal protein-goal of 60 grams per day I make sure to have about 20 grams in the morning 20 grams midday and about 20 grams in the evening.
My body may not benefit from taking in more than that at one sitting. If you're a man who needs 100 grams per day you could spread out your protein intake for the day to four meals of about 25 grams each separated by at least two hours in between.
So an 8-ounce steak at night containing 56 grams of protein just won't cut it!

Gluten refers to the proteins found in wheat endosperm (a type of tissue produced in seeds that's ground to make flour.
Gluten is composed actually of two different proteins: gliadin (a prolamin protein) and glutenin (a glutelin protein.

and various crossbreeds because these grains also contain protein composites made from prolamins and glutelins.
The proteins in chickpeas and sesame seeds complement each other providing more complete protein nutrition much like rice and beans.
Gelatin itself is a collection of long stringy animal-based proteins called collagen which bond together in three-stranded helical structures similar to the two-stranded helices of DNA.
The collagen in gelatin does come from boiling the bones and hides of animals processed for their meat (usually cows and pigs).
But hooves consist of a different protein keratin which can't produce gelatin. To make Jell-o you need to heat the gelatin in water.
Heating breaks the bonds holding the collagen together. Next the heated water-gelatin solution must be cooled allowing the collagen strands to rebond in a network
but now with water trapped inside. The collagen network gives Jell-o its semisolid properties while the trapped water keeps it jiggly.
