Hello my friends! Today's episode is a review of studies on protein intake: one Rutgers study on how a higher protein intake can boost retention of lean body mass during caloric restriction as well as influencing study subjects towards healthier options (I.e: organically choosing green vegetables over processed sugar and grains); and one study by Ohio State University on how most people are likely under-eating protein and how we need to increase protein intake recommendations for individuals based on their current stage of life, age, health condition and activity levels.
