Protein? What's it good for?

Proteins are the macronutrients your body needs for the structure, function, and regulation of your body's cells, tissues, and organs. The energy produced by proteins is approximately 4 calories per gram. Each protein is made of different sequences of amino acids and has many unique functions. Proteins are essential components of your muscles, skin, bones and the body as a whole.

Protein is one of the three macronutrients used as an energy source by the body (but using them for energy should be the body’s last resort), the other two being carbohydrate and fat (the fuels of preference).  Without all the essential amino acids that come from proteins the body cannot build all the necessary structures to maintain life.  So proteins must be in the diet to maintain the body’s construction and function.
