The Truth About The Current Protein Craz...

HUFFPOST
About this episode

Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with protein? From shakes and bars to high-protein everything, it can feel impossible to know whether you’re fueling your body or overdoing it. This week, Raj and Noah dive into the protein craze with Elizabeth Dunn, a James Beard Award-winning journalist and co-writer of the Substack Consumed, which is all about helping people navigate the complexities of being an eater in the 21st century. Together, they unpack how much protein we actually need, how to tell if you’re getting too little (or too much), and the smartest ways to get protein in everyday life.
