Food for Thought: Protein-packed meals and snacks Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted May. 5, 2015 at 7:46 AM Posted May. 5, 2015 at 7:46 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK Protein is an incredibly important part of our diets. Not only is it associated with muscle and tissue health, research finds that protein plays an important role in energy levels, weight management and satiety. In fact, a recent survey found that nine in 10 Americans believe that protein helps them feel fuller and satisfied longer.
