POWER OF PROTEIN ...........

Protein is vital to your health and crucial to all your body's physiological functions. Consider it the fuel you need to keep all parts of your engine running optimally and on time. Protein can be found in a wide array of foods. Learn how to choose wisely.

Eating the Right Amount

There is no hard and fast way to measure your required protein intake - but rather, there are a few: by percentage of calories, by weight and by age. This may be confusing, but the end numbers for all measures are not so much conflicting as they are inclusionary.

 The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) change with age:

Infants require about 10 grams a day.

Teenage boys need up to 52 grams a day.

Teenage girls need 46 grams a day.

Adult men need about 56 grams a day.

Adult women need about 46 grams a day.

Pregnant or lactating women need about 71 grams a day.

Typically, good sources of protein include:

Meats, poultry, and fish

Milk and dairy products

Eggs

Tofu

Legumes (dry beans and peas)
