Online Protein Counter For Weight Loss


There is a lot of scientific work been done around the issues of protein use to support weight loss. Having a protein counter for weigh loss is a useful tool.

Building protein in your diet does a lot of very good things. It gives the body the tools it needs to build healthy muscle. We know that muscle burns more calories than fat does so if we can change fat weight for muscle weight we will burn more calories in our normal day to day activities and so controlling weight is easier,

While we are talking about this I should mention that bulky muscles require repetitive exercise under high weights. Some ladies are hesitant to use protein supplements for fear of bulking up. While protein promotes muscle growth you will not get growth in major muscles unless you exercise them. If you are not doing high weight, repetition exercise you will not bulk up big muscles,

Protein in the diet also reduces hunger so it is much easier to stay on a calorie-controlled diet if you are putting the extra protein into it.

With these thoughts in mind we then need to figure out how much protein we are going to need and where to get it from.

I have given here a list of foodstuffs that many people have in their diet so you can look though and get a feel of how much protein you are consuming and if you need more you can then use this as a protein-counter sheet to figure out what you are going to eat to get it.

Dairy Products
Milk, 1 cup = 8g protein
Cheddar/Swiss, 28g = 5g protein
