Different sources of Protein have different Biological values - in other words, different quality. The highest quality source of protein known to us is Egg Protein, hence why many protein supplements have a base ingredient derived from egg. Dairy products also hold a good yield contrary to popular belief.

There is a debate as to which yogurt is the best to opt for, is it Greek yogurt or plain regular yogurt?

Greek yogurt has almost twice the amount of protein and half the carbohydrates as the regular yogurt, so it really has to be the Greek yogurt choice.

Signs that a man may have a poor hormonal profile

A poor hormone profile within a man would be exemplified by high Cortisol and high insulin levels coupled with a low testosterone reading and poor ability to remove Oestrogen from the body. Physiologically the body would give away tell tale signs such as the following;

• Fat accumulation or lack of tone around the thighs and hamstrings
• Accumulation of fat around the stomach and hips in comparison to rest of body
• Low Zinc levels within the body – normally identified by poor immune system and / or ridges on the finger nails.
• Poor stomach acid levels and therefore digestive related disorders such as poor synthesis of protein and minerals and increased incidence of food intolerance symptoms such as bloating, stomach cramps, general discomfort around the stomach.
• Fat accumulation around the chest (aka man boobs).
• Slow or poor ability in muscle size or strength gains.
