“Protein is a hot nutrition trend, with research pointing to its role in promoting satiety and preserving lean muscle mass,” says Peggy O’Shea Kochenbach, RDN, LDN.  “Whey protein is one of the most highly bio-available types of protein, meaning it is easily absorbed and utilized by the body.  If you’re looking to boost your protein intake, whey protein is an excellent option.”
