How many dietary proteins are there?

At least 10,000 different proteins make you what you are and keep you that way. Protein is made from twenty-plus basic building blocks called amino acids. Because we don’t store amino acids, our bodies make them in two different ways: either from scratch, or by modifying others.

How are alternative proteins improving the food system?

What is alternative protein?

What foods have the most protein per gram?

For example, nuts have more calories per gram of protein because it also comes with fats. Milk will have more calories per gram of protein because it has carbohydrates in addition to protein. Lean meats, where there is virtually little fat or carbs, will have the most protein per calorie.

What kind of proteins can you make with fermentation?

Perfect Day Foods is making whey and casein proteins using precision fermentation and recently launched spinoff brand Brave Robot to sell animal-free dairy-based ice cream. Clara Foods is also creating egg proteins with this technology.

Why do we need protein in our diet?

Cell growth, repair, and maintenance all require protein. Eating protein containing foods will consistently be used to replace old tissue, such as skin tissue, with new tissue made by the new proteins. (see how I meal prep for my high protein foods here) The number one question I get on this blog is how much protein do we need.
