RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

At every meal/snack we need a protein to build/maintain lean muscle & to keep us full longer. Proteins are not all the same tho. Some sources (red meat, bacon, most dairy) are high in cal & saturated fat (clogs arteries/adds to cellulite). Saturated fat also slows protein absorption = slow muscle growth. We need LEAN proteins (white meat, fish, eggs, unsalted/raw nuts, beans).
