Protein is a critical part of a healthy diet - one that will help you lose fat, put on muscle, and keep the body composition that you want to have.
Sometimes it takes a lot of protein to do that.
It can often mean eating more protein than you can easily get from whole foods such as tuna, chicken breast, beef, and so on.
It can be especially tough for someone transitioning to a different eating style. If you're going from a meat-heavy diet to a plant-heavy diet, say, or changing from pescatarian to vegan, or cutting down on your total food but trying to keep your protein up, it's even harder.
Luckily, the folks over at Precision Nutrition can help you out.
