How many molecules of amino acids do you take with a piece of 500 grams of meat? (on average, an amino acid is ~100 Daltons) 500 grams of protein, approximately, has 20% of protein. 2. Why do humans eat beef but do not become a cow, eat fish but do not become fish? This phenomenon occurs because humans are living beings with a special anatomy; indeed, we have a relatively smaller colon and larger small intestine, which shows that our system is prepared to process high-protein diets. These characteristics, along with others like gastric acidity, allow humans to ingest beef and fish, and thought-out gastric system becomes a big part of food, especially meat, in amino acids that our body can use to synthesize proteins that we need. This is why it is important to have a balanced diet with an adequate amount of protein.Hugoen
