The variety of ice cream available to the modern consumer is almost limitless.
However, due to the fact that it contains a large amount of sugar, oil and other additives that can hardly be called healthy, people often refuse to eat this product - especially if they are on a diet.
Indeed, a regular dessert is unlikely to help in the fight against excess weight - but it’s a different matter if we’re talking about protein ice cream.
What are the benefits of protein ice cream?
The basis of such ice cream is protein, which breaks down into amino acids, and they, in turn, are the building material for muscles, bones, skin, tissues and organs.
If a person does not get enough protein from food, the body begins to break down muscles to obtain amino acids.
By consuming protein, you can not only prevent muscle breakdown, but also help build muscle.
Compared to fats and carbohydrates, proteins have a higher thermic effect.
This means that when food is digested, some of the calories received are spent on the absorption of nutrients, that is, 20-30% of calories from protein are burned at the digestion stage.
To determine how much protein you need to consume per day, you need to know your individual requirement.
For physically active people who do strength training, the protein norm is 1.5-2 g per kg of weight. This norm should be followed by those who want to build muscle mass, reduce the percentage of fat and recover from exercise.
For people who do not engage in intensive sports, the daily protein requirement is 1-1.5 g per kg of weight.
