Calories in Steak


Steak is not only high in protein quantity, but the protein in steak also has a high biological quality. It means that steak protein can be absorbed and utilized for growth because it contains all essential amino acids in the correct proportions required by the body. Maintaining our levels of lean muscle weight is crucial for keeping the metabolic rate efficiently high enough to burn enough calories to lose weight.

Quality of proteins can be an important factor for weight loss because it helps maintain an active metabolism for good calorie burning. Many processed products contain high protein levels of poor quality. It was once believed that poor quality protein could not be used for maintenance, and must either be used for energy or converted to fat. This is no longer believed to be the case.
