"High protein" is everywhere – snack bars, cereals, even crisps. But do we really need it? Are we getting enough, or are some of us missing out?

That’s why we’re so proud of this book. It’s not just about eating more protein, it's about getting enough while still getting plenty of fibre.

In this episode, Dr Rupy sits down with our Science Content Lead, Sakina, to share his take on some of the biggest questions about protein.
