Protein Hype vs. Science: How Much Do You Need?

Protein is a crucial nutrient, like the building blocks for your body, helping you stay healthy and strong.

You need it every day, but how much?

The standard is about 0.8 grams per kilogram of your weight, but it changes with age and activity.

Eating too much protein won't hurt you.

Instead of worrying about when you eat it, make sure you eat enough throughout the day.

Good sources are meat and plants, focus on eating enough protein overall, and you'll be in great shape.
