Proteins are the building blocks of your body. Look at the Ensure, most of it is carbs but some are somewhat balanced.
Just like any bodybuilder gains mass and muscle with protein, carbs provide fuel but protein are the building materials.
All through treatment your body is under assault and extra protein is what it needs the most.
Glad things are progressing well for you.
