Protein is a macronutrient made of amino acids; the body uses it as a building block for muscle, enzymes, hormones, skin, and other tissues, and can also draw on it for energy.

Very low protein intake is commonly discussed in relation to muscle loss and slow recovery, though a shortfall is uncommon on a typical varied diet.
