Protein Power: Are current recommendations fit for purpose?
How much protein do we really need – and does timing matter?
This webinar will provide an evidence-based update on dietary protein covering quantity, quality and how to distribute intake across the day to support health and functional outcomes.
We will revisit UK guidance and intake patterns, explore protein quality and digestibility, and introduce principles of timing and distribution to optimise utilisation throughout the day.
