                                Approximately 10-15% of the total calories an adult needs daily should come from protein. However, even if you eat enough, you may not be properly digesting and absorbing it. In such cases, your body may find it difficult to break down proteins, leading to nutritional deficiencies and a range of uncomfortable symptoms.
