Protein is essential for building muscle, improving your metabolism, and for overall healthy bodily functions. When you work out regularly, your body needs even more protein to maintain and build muscle and keeping your metabolism high.

Naturally, high-protein snacks and meals are perfect options for an active person, whether at the office or as a pre- or post-workout snack.
