One of the most important Metabolic Balance rules is: “Eat only one type of protein per meal, but at each of the three meals a different source of protein. ” Often we are then asked: “How many and which types of protein are there?”
Here we have summarized our main protein groups for you:
• Meat (incl. ham, dried and smoked meat, lamb (including ostriches and wild game meat)
• Poultry (all feathered animals except ostriches)
• Fish
• Seafood
