Why We’re Here Today
Everybody Needs Activity…
…And Good Nutrition!
Why Protein is an Important Part of a Balanced Diet?
It All Starts With Protein
• Top reasons that protein should be in your diet:• Manage Weight
• Boost Immunity
• Brain Development
• Prevent Disease
Weight Management
The protein in lean beef helps you to control weight by:
• Building muscle
• Increasing calorie burning
• Fueling physical activity
• Preserving muscle while increasing fat loss
• Keeping hunger at bay
Physical Activity: Fueled by Protein
Physical activity is more effective when coupled with a protein-rich diet
• The closer the lean protein is consumed to the time of exercise, the more lean muscle you build.
• And helps you maintain muscle while losing fat.
Protein for Performance
No matter how active you are, lean beef helps to power your performance.
The protein and nine other nutrients in beef work together to help build muscles and keep your body healthy.
Training & Recovery
Nutrition during training is critical to race-day success!
Nutrition after your race is just as important – to get you back into training mode and maintain your fitness as you gear up for your next race.
Adequate protein and other nutrient-rich foods will help you build and repair muscles.
