Protein is used for growth and repair. If you remove the water from the body, about half of the remaining weight (called the dry weight) is protein. Making new cells, or repairing damaged cells, requires protein. We obtain this protein from the food in our diet. If carbohydrate and food are lacking in the diet (eg during starvation) the protein in the body can be 'burned' to supply energy.
