I feel so much better when I get enough protein (100g+ daily), and also my hair is fuller when I do so. I also lift heavy weights.

Who told you to feel this way. No one starts measuring protein without being influenced to

That answer doesn't make any sense at all.

its the calories. you are feeling satiated because you ate. Protein comes in whey powder, meat animal products, etc, various foods that are different from each other. Protein isn't an independent "thing", it is a component that joins with others to make wholes. So speaking of "protein" in isolation makes no sense. Fats, yes, protein, no.

A lot of the advice on protein is BS, especially the extreme stuff but there is real evidence that it matters.

Here's a great article on the current research on protein for athletes, including acknowledgement that there's a lot of uncertainty.

That article seems to support much of the current recommendations. What part do you think is BS?

I aimed for 100 when I was pregnant. Never made it, but it kept me from eating carbs.

Americans get plenty of protein. It's like having a big push to eat sodium. Yes of course we cannot have a 100% sodium free diets but saying that we need to seek it out is overkill. Same with protein.

Is the push coming from the meat industry? Dairy industry? Fast food and junk food companies?

I grow up on 90% carb diet, and I started consuming 90-100g protein after I started weight training in my 20s. It made a huge difference to my body composition, energy and mood.

Every single cell in your body is made up of protein. It supports everything from cell repair and muscle growth to hormone balance and weight management.

Does this mean there isn’t a push for people to eat leafy greens? Of course not. Everyone knows they need to eat that. I just think protein was the forgotten child, until recently.

FTR it’s pretty easy to get 100 grams of protein per day, especially if you eat chicken, fish, chickpeas and lentils.

There is no need to eat any leafy greens

I recall when CrossFit got popular the protein/fat diet became popular.

For people who weight trained they always knew to eat enough protein.

Oh if you need protein so much just go to McDonald's daily and pick up a cheeseburger so you won't collapse and die due to the Amrican protein deficiency crisis. Or go to 7-11 and get a Slim Jim. Or go to Dunkin and get a whey-filled drink. The fast food industry is here to save the day.
