 3 Things to
Remember

(1) proteins are just a piece

of the nutritional puzzle –
fats and carbohydrates
factor in as well
(2) your body manufactures
most of the protein it uses
all by itself
(3) the typical diet in countries like
the USA far exceed necessary protein
intakes - and this excess of protein,
which includes nitrogen - plays a role
in no small number of illnesses and
syndromes.
Finally...

if you're ever concerned about how much

protein you're receiving: ask your body.

When it suffers deficiencies, it will always

find ways to show you.

For example... check your fingernails.
