8 Signs You Might Have a Protein Deficiency

1. Brain fog

It is very important to get a proper intake of protein to support healthy brain function. If you experience a lack of motivation, poor memory, or trouble with learning anything new, it’s a sign that you are protein deficient. A study says that dopamine, epinephrine, and serotonin are neurotransmitters that your body needs to focus on.

According to the USDA, the recommended minimum daily intake of protein for adults is 56 g per day for men, 46 g per day for women – and for kids, it varies from 19 g to 34 g depending on their age. This may vary if you are pregnant or ill.
