I’ve been reading a lot of articles about diets (again) and ran across this statement. “Despite persistent beliefs to the contrary, we can find no evidence-based link between higher protein diets and renal disease or adverse bone health.”
Eat your protein! Animal based proteins have a slightly higher inflammatory response compared to plant protein, but has not been linked to any deleterious health events. Animal proteins are more bioavailable and nutrient dense compared to plant based proteins.
The amount that is regularly recommended per day is 0.8-1.0g of protein per pound of ideal body weight.
