Good mental health is not simply the absence of a diagnosed mental illness. It is a continuing state of psychological wellbeing that helps a person manage everyday demands, experience a range of emotions, maintain relationships, and make choices that reflect their values.

Understanding the calories in protein makes it easier to plan meals, compare foods, and balance your daily macronutrients. Protein is often associated with muscle, but it also plays important structural and regulatory roles throughout the body.
