Why proteins are hard to digest ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proteins not hard to: Proteins\ are not hard to digest. They require stomach acid and normal pancreatic function, but if those are normal, they are not hard to digest. However, fats are harder and take longer to digest. If you eat fatty meat as a protein source, it will take longer!
