Everywhere we look in the healthy aisle of the market, we see enough protein bars, shakes and powders to make most people think they need a protein supplement. But is that true? 🤔

Although adequate protein is necessary, our bodies can't store it, so once needs are met, any extra protein is either used for energy or stored as fat, much like excess calories from any other source.

An extra protein intake also can lead to elevated blood lipids and heart disease, as many high-protein foods are high in total and saturated fat. It also poses an additional risk to people predisposed to kidney disease.

So, how much protein do you actually need? The current Canadian guidelines estimate daily protein needs at 0.8 -1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight.
