You may think of protein as the muscle-building nutrient and fat as the fat-storage nutrient, but protein can act as a fat under certain physiological conditions. Proteinâs primary role is to provide the building blocks, or amino acids, to synthesize structural and functional proteins within the body.
Protein is often touted as a miracle food for weight loss. However, it's important to not get carried away with these types of claims, because eating more calories than you burn results in weight gain, no matter where the calories come from. Also, no food will burn fat; the only thing that can do that is exercise. But, eating adequate amounts of protein may promote moderate weight loss since it increases satiety, may slightly speed up metabolism and makes it easier to stick with a low-calorie diet.
