A daily protein check is important because, as we’ve seen, protein plays an important role in maintaining blood sugar balance. If you eat it with a sugary or high-GI food it will slow down the conversion of sugar.

And it helps to break down stored fat for use as fuel, which helps keep insulin levels down. Our bodies can’t store protein as they can carbohydrate and fat, so you need a constant supply.
