#114. Adequate vs optimal protein intake: are you actually eating enough?

Jemma Aitken | Exercise Physiologist & Sports Nutritionist Season 1 Episode 114

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the difference between adequate vs optimal protein intake. 

Now, this conversation was prompted by a recent newspaper article suggesting that protein is overrated. So I'm going to dive into what our current national healthy eating guidelines recommend, where those numbers come from, and why they might not suit everyone (especially if you’re active or have specific health or performance goals).

So let’s clear up the confusion and work out what an optimal protein intake would be for you :)
