Ep 19: Daily - Protein - Myth 4: There is No Data That Says Athletes Need More Than the RDA for Protein
from Flex Diet Podcast · host Dr. Mike T Nelson, Jessica Depatie, Jodie "Fabulous" Nelson
We’re covering another zombie myth of protein that just won’t die today. Now it appears that protein itself is considered a negative thing in some circles. Yikes. I was at the ancestral health society meeting this past August presenting - it was super fun. One of the presenters was doing a talk about how we should be consuming very low amounts of protein which I do not necessarily agree with. A lot of this backlash is theoretical which brings us to today’s myth: Athletes don’t need more than the RDA for Protein. Visit www.flexdiet.com. Finally, understand nutrition on a whole new level.
