Definition
 Proteins are essential nutrients for the
human body.[1] They are one of the building
blocks of body tissue and can also serve as a
fuel source. As a fuel, proteins provide as
much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal
(17 kJ) per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9
kcal (37 kJ) per gram. The most important
aspect and defining characteristic of protein
from a nutritional standpoint is its amino acid
composition.[2]
Significance
 maintain the proteome's content, structures and
function of the organism and to provide for growth
and special needs. Individual and population
allowances for dietary protein for aDemands for
growth, pregnancy, and lactation are well understood,
although factorial models of protein requirements
assume low efficiency of dietary protein utilization
and may overestimate dietary allowances for children,
pregnant, and lactating women. The amino acid
profile of the maintenance componentdults derive
from nitrogen balance studies.
