Whats up dudes, and whats up ladies? Bryan here, and it is time for our 3rd video covering the functions of the macronutrients. I will put links in the little I in the right hand corner of your screen to the functions of carbs and fats videos. Ok, protein time.

So, what are the functions of protein? First, lets define what proteins are…

Proteins are made up of smaller molecules called amino acids that are strung together…cmon dude, get in your place….cmon dude, quit messing around. That a boy. Sorry about that folks,…So, proteins are made up of smaller molecules called amino acids that are strung together by chemical bonds like beads on a chain. So, now that we have a general understanding of what proteins are, what are their major functions?

The 1st function of proteins is to help make some of our hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel throughout the body coordinating complex processes that often involve the interaction of several organs.

The next function is to build and maintain tissue. This is why the protein requirement is higher for growing children and athletes.

The 3rd function of protein is to make enzymes. Enzymes function as catalysts, which means that they speed up the rate at which metabolic processes and reactions occur.

The next function is transportation. Transport proteins enable nutrients to go to the right tissues.

The next function of protein is as a source of energy. If you consume more protein than you need for body tissue maintenance and other necessary functions, your body can use it for energy.

These are just a few of the functions of protein, but as you can see Protein has a very important role bodily activities.
