The latest on protein trends and recommendations

Check out my interview on TVNZ Breakfast talking about protein following the latest cottage cheese trends featuring on social media!

Jenny-May Clarkson and I discuss the current recommendations for how much protein you need in your diet, why you need it, and how you can include it in your meals throughout the day (importantly, try not to forget protein in your breakfast, lunch and snacks as well as dinner - where we often get most of our protein).

Related: for more info on protein, see my post Protein - how much do you need? which includes a handy downloadable chart to guide you on how much protein is in different animal and plant based sources.

This downloadable chart will help you work out approx:

1. how much protein you are currently eating

2. how much more protein you might need

3. where to get protein from!

I also talk about protein powder here which we didn’t get to cover in the interview above so you might find this helpful too.
