Protein

A small study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that low-protein diets can cause people to lose muscle mass and increase the percentage of body fat they’re carrying.
Instead, choose a diet that provides adequate protein, is low in saturated fats, and is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains — a healthy option, no matter what your weight goals are. At least 15 percent of your calories should come from protein.
