8 Recommended amounts 10-35% of intake should be protein
Males (18 + y/o): grams/day Females (18 + y/o): grams/day Calculation: 0.8 gram/kilogram of body weight Infants needs the most protein

9 Food and protein How do you get protein in your diet?
Animal products are the best source Meat, eggs, milk, legumes, grains, vegetables

10 Complete proteins Supply all essential amino acids in the correct amount for the body to use. Animal proteins are complete

11 Complementary proteins
Plant proteins are incomplete Exception: soybean protein Vegetarians need to eat plant proteins in combination

12 Too much protein? It is possible to get too much. Extra calories
