10 Clear Signs You Might Have a Protein Deficiency
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How to Recognize Protein Deficiency. Protein plays a vital role in the daily functioning of our bodies. If you don’t have enough of it, your body will suffer. According to UN data, around 1 billion people worldwide are protein deficient. How do you know if you’re one of them? You’d better watch out for these 10 signs and symptoms related to protein deficiency so you’ll know when there’s a problem.
To make things clear, when we say “not enough protein,” we mean somewhere under 56 g for men and 46 g for women per day. For kids, it varies from 19 g to 34 g depending on their age. This figure may also vary if you are pregnant or ill. According to the US Department of Agriculture, you can calculate a more specific amount using a simple formula. Try to eat about 0.36 g of protein for every pound of your weight.

SUMMARY
-If you always feel hungry and have cravings for food and snacks, it may be because of a low-protein, high-carb, and sugar-filled diet.
-When you’re unable to build muscle mass (even if you’re working out), this can lead to muscle waste or atrophy. It can also make you constantly feel tired and gain fat.
-A protein deficiency can result in weak and brittle nails. In a few cases, people might observe white bands and brownish spots on their nails. A protein deficiency can affect the skin as well because protein enables cell regeneration, produces new cells, and replaces dead ones.
-If you don’t get enough nutrients, your hair may thin and fade. This happens because the body stops using protein for nonessential things, like hair growth, in an effort to preserve it.
-A fatty liver is one of the most common symptoms of a protein deficiency. If left untreated, it can cause fatty liver disease, which leads to inflammation, liver scarring, and potential liver failure.
-Just as with your muscles, a low intake of protein can also affect your bones. Not having enough protein leads to a weakening of the bones, thus increasing the risk of bone fractures.
-If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from sleep deprivation, it’s likely linked to a protein deficiency.
-There can be multiple reasons for your headaches, and 2 reasons are anemia and low blood sugar levels. You can blame a lack of protein for both.
-Edema is a condition in which extra fluid builds up in your body and makes your legs swell. Harvard Health Publications links low protein levels and edema.
-If you experience a lack of motivation, poor memory, or trouble learning anything new, it’s a sign that you are protein deficient.
-To get enough protein, balance your meat, dairy, fish, and egg intake with healthy vegetarian and vegan proteins. Make beans, nuts and seeds (such as almonds, flax, chia, and hemp), spinach, and broccoli your new best friends.

Definitely, and it's one thing to eat enough protein, and another to absorb enough! Something people should consider if they are eating enough protein but still having these symptoms, would be to look closer into their gut health.
My husband passed away a year ago and I haven’t been eating properly, I have all those symptoms I thought it was old age. Thank you

I had Hair fall Brain fog Fatty liver Cracked skin Fatigue Because I became vegetarian and that was the worst mistake of my life. I still have fatty liver and less muscles but rest I have recovered.
I didn't know food craving means low protein . This solves so many problems
Very AWESOME video
Good helping information
Agreed that lacking Protein cause poor memory base on personal experience. Having 2 half boil eggs each morning help to recover.
