Debunking protein myths

The Hindu  

As a nutritionist, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients — from athletes to weekend warriors and anyone just looking to feel healthier and stronger. Myth#3: Plant-based diets can’t provide enough protein For those following plant-based diets, there’s often concern about whether they can consume enough protein to support muscle growth and training. Myth#4: Cheese and peanut butter are good protein sources When it comes to foods like cheese and peanut butter, while they do provide some protein, they’re also high in fat and shouldn’t be relied upon as primary protein sources, especially if you’re looking to increase protein intake without adding extra calories from fat. Myth#8: Endurance athletes don’t need much protein For endurance athletes, protein intake becomes even more important. Studies suggest that endurance athletes require 1.2–1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, especially during intense training periods, to support recovery and muscle repair.
