Protein in Fish

Fish protein is of very high quality, and contains sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids required by the body for growth and maintenance of lean muscle tissue. The proteins in fish, as well as similar seafood, make up complete protein sources for many people around the world.

Good protein sources can be important to lose weight because high quality proteins, such as the protein in most fresh fish, can be used to maintain a highly active metabolism. It used to be thought that low quality protein cannot keep the metabolic rate high as they do not contain all essential amino acids required for protein synthesis. It was thought that the protein from poor sources must either be used for energy or converted to fat if energy consumption was too high. This is now not believed to be true. Many experts believe the body can use all types of proteins for muscle maintenance, as long as the whole amino acid pool within the blood can be maintained through a balanced diet of healthy foods.

Whichever version turns out to be true may not matter, however surely it must be a better position to eat a few complete protein sources at some meals during the day. Even just as an assurance that lean muscle weight can be maintained for successful weight loss. If someone follows a calorie restricted diet, they may be in need of good quality protein so the body doesn't burn it as energy. If more protein is burned as energy, it means less fat is used up from fat storages resulting in slow weight loss progress!

Sources similar to fish protein can be achieved by combining various plant foods!
