Protein is the hot macronutrient right now. Unlike fats and carbohydrates, which have been (mistakenly) tainted with bad reputations over the years, protein can do no wrong! Protein is known for its muscle-building properties, metabolism-boosting abilities, and satiating effects that help with weight management. It’s for these reasons that high protein food products are so prevalent in the grocery stores. Frozen waffles, chips, cookies, pastas, and cereals are just some examples of foods that can be found with added protein.
