How much protein do we REALLY need? Is the RDA too low??

How much protein do we REALLY need? Animal vs plant protein, the RDA and protein needs for several ages, from children to adults to the elderly.

Dr. Stuart Phillips is a professor at McMaster University researching protein & muscle metabolism.

For a guy at 80kg, 1.6g of protein per kg is 128g protein

good protein sources incl legumes, edamame, lentils, fish chicken etc

some ppl may prefer protein powders, others may need less protein

Today we focused on protein quantity, next week we’ll dive into protein quality. specific amino acids, bioavailability and more on animal & plant protein
