[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in this country are so wrongly obsessed with protein, the average Western diet has plenty, even for an athlete. If she's really that concerned, there are lots of whole foods with protein: edamame, nuts, eggs, beans and lentils, yogurt, and cottage cheese.Not to mention meats for those who eat them. Peanut butter also has protein but can be high in sugar if eating in excess. [/quote]

Protein is just the flavor of the week. It will eventually lose steam and people will get obsessed with something else. Medium chain fatty acids or personalized nutrition or prebiotics - who knows.

People were similarly obsessed with avoiding fat in the 80’s. Margarine was thought to be healthier than butter. Everything was labeled “fat free/low fat” so people ate wow potato chips with olestra and suffered explosive diarrhea, and chose sugary fat free foods. Now we have swung to carb free, protein heavy. It won’t last forever. Just eat balanced meals and snacks, everyone. [/quote]
