Here's what you can do to get enough protein in your diet
SUMMARY: Protein is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, with many Americans prioritizing it in their diets, boosting the market for protein-enriched snacks like popcorn, chips, and even donuts. Registered dietitian Monica Auslander Moreno suggests most adults need about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, though many experts recommend more due to strength training. Protein quality matters, with eggs and whey scoring highest on the PDCAAS scale. Fitness trainers advise sticking to whole foods like steak, chicken, and eggs, using protein snacks as convenient alternatives—not full meal replacements—for maintaining health and fitness goals.
Once the domain of bodybuilders and athletes, protein has moved to the center of many Americans’ daily diets, showing up in everything from cereal to doughnuts, according to nutrition experts.
