Here I go again, talking about protein. You already get it, right? The importance of eating animal protein, the importance of eating enough animal protein, the importance of adequate protein and how it will help you with virtually every health-related goal. If you feel like half the time I’m trying to stress some point about protein, you’re probably right.
But there is another stone left unturned here (definitely more than one if I’m being honest). There’s more nuance to the story. What’s important is not simply the amount of protein, nor just where the protein comes from, but the type of protein. More specifically, the ratios and amounts of amino acids that we consume. Now to be clear, there are a lot of important amino acids (being building blocks of life and whatnot), but in this blog I will focus on methionine and glycine.
