No.1 Protein Scientist: Are you eating enough? | Prof. Stuart Phillips & Dr. Federica Amati | ZOE Science & Nutrition

In this episode of the ZOE Science & Nutrition podcast, Jonathan is joined by Prof. Stuart Phillips and Dr. Federica Amati to discuss protein. Stuart and Federica address common questions and misconceptions about protein intake, its role in the body, and optimal sources. They debunk myths around protein timing and the superiority of animal protein, emphasizing the importance of resistance exercise for muscle growth and the benefits of diverse plant-based protein sources. The discussion covers recommended daily allowances, personalized protein needs for different life stages, and the risks associated with excessive protein consumption and processed protein supplements, advocating for a balanced diet and enjoying whole foods.
