Protein in Meat The protein in meat often has a high biological quality compared to many plant foods. Some processed forms of meat tend to have a lower protein quality than their fresh counterparts, but still generally higher than many plant foods. Meat protein contains all the essential amino acids in the correct proportions required by the body for optimum growth of lean, calorie-burning tissue. Maintaining our lean weight is crucial for keeping the metabolic rate sufficiently high enough to burn enough calories to lose weight. Quality of protein can be an important factor in losing weight because it helps maintain a higher rate of metabolism. Lower quality may mean there's less protein available for building lean mass. If the consumption of food or calories is low, it is less likely the protein will be used for its main purpose of building new protein molecules. The more protein used for energy the less fat burned from fat stores! Many processed foods now in shops contain protein levels of poor quality. It means the protein in these foods may not be used for muscle maintenance and will therefore more likely be used for energy needs, especially if following very low calorie diets. The quality of the protein in meat basically means that most of  its protein can be used for protein synthesis and limits the amount burned as fuel. Many plant foods can be combined to form high quality protein sources similar to the protein in meat!
