Crossfit Journal Article of the Week: The Primer on Protein - Part 1 “What is Food for?”
by: Jocelyn Rylee, MS, CF-LV4
Why do we need to eat? What is food for?
When posed this question, most people will respond with an enthusiastic “Fuel!” or “Energy!” While this answer is correct, it is also incomplete. It’s true that food provides hydrocarbons (fats and carbohydrates) that get turned into ATP (the energy currency of the body). But just as important, if not more so, food also provides building blocks — structural elements that do not get used for energy but get turned into our brain, muscles, bones, connective tissue, blood vessels, neurotransmitters, etc. Every bit of you is built out of something you ate.
In the CrossFit nutrition prescription, “eat meats” is offered as a placeholder for animal products in general — meat, eggs, fish, dairy, etc. The primary macronutrient in these foods is protein. When consumed and digested, dietary protein is broken down into amino acids. Think of amino acids like Lego blocks and proteins as the near-infinite number of creations we can construct out of them. There are 20 amino acids used to build proteins in the human body, nine of which are essential (meaning we have to get them from the diet) and another six that can become essential depending on factors such as training volume, illness, injury, etc. From these amino acids, the body produces at least 20,000 proteins that we know of. Some are small, such as the hormone insulin, constructed of just 51 amino acids linked together. Other proteins are enormous. Titin, found in the sarcomere of muscle, is the largest protein in the body and is composed of approximately 34,350 amino acids!
This six-part series will explore the underappreciated but necessary structural elements of the diet and all the weird and wonderful ways the body uses dietary protein to support good health.
Defining health as “work capacity across broad time and modal domains, across the years of your life,” what better place to start than with skeletal muscle?
