Oats and whey


Today's topic: Protein.
Who knew?: Take away the water and about 75 percent of your weight is protein. (Um, gee, I thought it was fat.)
This chemical family is found throughout the body. It's in muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. At least 10,000 different proteins make you what you are and keep you that way.
