A little bit about fats
Fats, a very broad subject, yet a very important one when it comes to health, and while exercise is very important to keep fit and healthy you also need to keep a close eye on what you are putting into your body. When you think of it this way all the chemicals in your body have to come from somewhere and this somewhere primarily comes from the food you eat so making sure you are getting the right foods is essential.

Protein is essential to the metabolic activities of every cell.

In reality a gram of protein contains four calories (the same as carbohydrates or starches) and any excess calories from protein are converted to fat and stored.
