Does Your Child Need More Protein? What the Research Actually Says

Does Your Child Need More Protein? What the Research Actually Says

Protein bars in the lunchbox. Protein powder in the smoothie. Protein added to everything from waffles to mac and cheese. If it feels like protein is suddenly everywhere! You're not imagining it.

In this episode, I'm pushing back on the idea that more protein is automatically better for kids, walking through what the RDA actually recommends, what newer research on "optimal" protein intake really means, and the research-backed downsides of overdoing it, especially for younger kids.

I also draw a clear line for families navigating severe picky eating, ARFID, or an eating disorder, where the real concern is too little protein, not too much.

I'll share a story from my practice that shows exactly how this trend can backfire, and what I want you to know before you reach for another scoop.
