[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need nearly as much protein to be healthy and strong as many people think you do.

Agree.  Everyone has fallen for the protein overhype.[/quote]

Oh this is so true! I sent this to my friend who was crowd sourcing best protein bars.

Did you actually read the article? The moral is check the label not that protein is overhyped.

I’m pro protein and pro heavy weights and a woman. I believe most middle aged women aren’t doing enough of either (especially those who in this thread).[/quote]

Yes, I read it and these were my main takeaways:

You’d be hard-pressed to find an American who actually needs more protein, though, said Eric Rimm, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Most meat eaters get far more than the recommended daily dose of protein (which is about 0.4 grams per pound of body weight). And those who don’t eat meat can get enough protein from plant sources like tofu, nuts and legumes.

You also might consider opting for a different snack that’s just as portable and nutritious, Dr. Rimm said, like grapes, a banana, an apple or yogurt with berries. Dr. Nestle suggested a handful of nuts and Mr. DiMarino recommended tuna or hard-boiled eggs, which are high in protein but not processed. But you likely don’t need to stress about ensuring you’re meeting, or exceeding, your daily protein allotment.

“People just need to relax about protein intake,” Dr. Cutting-Jones said.[/quote]

I’d definitely pick tuna/eggs over a protein bar.  But as for amount of protein, nah, I disagree with the epidemiologist.[/quote]
