What if you don't get enough Protein??

I was just wondering what would happen if you do not get enough Protein? I try to get my 60 grams a day but sometimes it is hard to do so. Just let me know!

I haven't experienced this, I do whey Protein additives, and protein bullets. It's not that hard if you plan for it. In the first few weeks it's not that big of a deal. A hardboilled egg can start your day or serve as lunch, as a guy you need more calories than I do, but it can be added to your regular meal, or maybe a light snack. My doc said failure to get it in makes you tired, Hair loss and it slows the weight loss process. He explained how it worked, to much to go into, but it's why the Atiinks and high protein diets work.

Occasionally it won't hurt you. However we need a good balanced diet, including adequate Protein (too much and your body won't use it, just like excess fat and carbs get stored or dumped). It's best to try to eat good balanced meals each day, and take a good multi. :biggrin:

When you lose your body will pull energy from fat (yay that's the point!) but it also pulls from muscle. Adequate Protein intake (besides what Niterun said) can help minimize that muscle loss (although it won't prevent it)
