This course introduces protein basics for beginners, covering natural protein sources, protein function, complete versus incomplete proteins, and daily intake recommendations for adults and athletes.
Explore how amino acids form proteins that build and repair muscle, regulate metabolism, and support hormone and immune function. Excess protein isn't stored; it may supply energy during exercise.
Explore how amino acids form complete and incomplete proteins, distinguish essential, non-essential, and conditionally essential types, and review animal and plant sources including quinoa and complementary combinations.
Discover how branched-chain amino acids drive muscle protein synthesis, with meal concentration and a 2.2-3 grams threshold, higher slow-release proteins, and cottage cheese, chicken, and beef as sources.
Assess protein quality by digestibility and essential amino acid content using PDCAAS and DIAAS scores, with examples from milk, eggs, soy, and complementary plant proteins.
Learn daily protein recommendations, from 0.8 g/kg minimum to 1.2–2.1 g/kg for training, with 20–30 g per meal of complete, rapidly digested protein and protein before sleep.
Explore how the food matrix and processing influence protein digestibility. When using supplements, prioritize safety and third-party verification to ensure essential amino acids and quality.
Assess when protein supplements help meet daily needs for appetite control, fat loss, muscle maintenance with exercise, and immune function, while recognizing convenience when whole foods fall short.
