Role of Food Types i Exercise - Proteins

Protein

*provides energy in the late stages of prolonged exercise - when the muscle glycogen stores fall, as may happen in the later stages of endurance activity the body breaks down the amino acids (building blocks of protein) in muscle to provide glucose to supply energy.

* protein provides energy when your daily diet is inadequate in calories or carbs - when you hav ean imbalanced diet low in carbs/energy the body is forced to use protein - this leads to a reduction in lean muscle mass
