The Best Protein for Optimal Weight Loss
Protein is an essential nutrient for building muscle and supporting other biological processes.

You hear about the different types or proteins, including soy, whey, egg and casein. Do these types differ from the types of protein found in meats and fish?

How can you benefit from protein to maximize exercise capacity and ultimately weight loss?

One of the keys to maximizing the efficiency in which your body breaks down protein is to avoid over-consumption of the nutrient and to eat the right types of protein.

In this segment, Jim White, RD, and Melanie Cole, MS, explore the different types of protein and help you discover which one is the right type for your body.
