Proteins are nutrients that have three primordial roles in the body.

    An energy role. They are essential for the proper functioning of our body.
    A role of construction. They participate in the creation of all the living tissues of the body as well as the renewal of the skin, the hair, the nails ...

There are two types of foods containing protein: foods of animal origin (such as meat, fish, crustaceans, dairy products) and foods of plant origin (cereals and legumes, lentils, peas, etc.).
Animal proteins are richer in essential amino acids that are sometimes lacking in plant proteins. If vegan diets suppress eggs, fish and dairy products, supplement the diet with amino acids.Where to find protein? 15 foods that will make you feel good
1. The egg
With its 12% protein, it is an excellent source of protein. Egg yolk is more protein-rich than white.The proteins of the egg are considered as proteins of reference: their composition in amino acids (all absorbable by the organism) makes it the flagship of the protein foods.
2. Meat
With an average of 18% protein, meat is an excellent source of protein.The winner of all categories is the flank of beef (30% protein) followed closely by the false beef filet.
