Did You Know?
A common myth about protein is that a diet that is high in protein can have negative health effects, like kidney damage or bone loss. Eating a diet higher in protein can support a healthy metabolism and plays an important role in muscle maintenance and preventing chronic diseases. Research shows that eating 25-30 grams of protein at each meal is an idea for optimal body benefits.
