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

My body.

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.

Huh? You make zero sense.

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.

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.

Anonymous wrote:You all are missing the point of the question...WHO is telling everyone they need ro count and measure protein out there? Who's agenda is this? Because it doesn't make any sense. 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?

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