Protein is powerful. It builds lean muscle, keeps you satisfied, supports hormone function, and helps you burn fat more efficiently.
But here’s the truth bomb: more protein doesn’t always mean better results.
AC Art Of Food looks at protein through the lens of blood type health and mindful eating. Because how much protein you eat—and what kind—can make all the difference in energy, digestion, metabolism, and long-term wellness.
This week, we’re breaking down:
How to balance protein the smart way
The right protein types for your blood type
What happens when you overdo it
Easy recipes + tools to make it work in your real life
What Protein Does for You
When consumed in the right amount, protein can:
Help repair muscles and tissues
Support immune and hormone function
Keep you full between meals
Stabilize blood sugar
Aid in healthy weight management
But too much protein—especially from sources not aligned with your blood type—can:
🚫 Stress the kidneys
🚫 Cause nutrient absorption imbalances
🚫 Lead to digestive issues
🚫 Trigger inflammation or fatigue
The key is quality, quantity, and compatibility.
🩸 Protein & Your Blood Type: What Works Best for You
Type O: The Protein Powerhouse
Thrives on lean red meats like grass-fed beef, lamb, and wild game
Needs high-protein meals to support energy and digestion
⚠️ Watch for: Dairy and grain-based proteins—they may cause inflammation
Type A: The Plant-Based Performer
Feels best on plant proteins—tofu, lentils, chickpeas, tempeh
Benefits from smaller, more frequent meals with low-acid proteins
⚠️ Watch for: Red meat—can slow digestion and increase stress hormones
Type B: The Balanced Omnivore
Does well with eggs, turkey, fish, and lamb
Can enjoy a wide range of proteins if digestion is strong
⚠️ Watch for: Chicken and shellfish—may disrupt immune function
Type AB: The Intuitive Hybrid
Tolerates turkey, tofu, seafood, and dairy in moderation
Best served with calming proteins and smaller portions
⚠️ Watch for: Cured meats and heavy red meats
