Protein recommended daily intake for adults ranges from 0.75–1.6g/kg (0.32–0.72g/lb) body weight.
Protein contributes to:
Inadequate protein intake has an adverse effect on mental and physical health and is most likely among people on plant-based or dairy-free diets and people aged over 40 years.
Effects include muscle wasting and weakness; osteoporosis; brittle hair, dry skin, and weak nails; poor growth, development and wound healing; susceptibility to infections and illnesses; and depression and anxiety.
A high protein intake promotes a feeling of fullness and suppresses hunger so helps in the prevention and management of overweight/obesity, and is a feature of low-carb and ketogenic diets. It is also recommended that people over 40 years have a higher protein intake to prevent age-related sarcopenia (muscle wasting).
