When you cook protein, the amino acid chains denature and re form into a solid state. In other words the proteins lose moisture, shrink and become firm. If you over cook or cook some proteins at too high of a temperature, tender foods such as meat fruits and eggs will become too tough and over solidify making the textures unappealing to eat.
