Transcript
Welcome back to Plate, Not Protocol with me, Mariam El-Sayed. This is our first question and answer episode, and I asked you to send me whatever was confusing you. I expected variety. Instead I got protein, protein, protein. How much do I need, is it different for women, can vegetarians get enough, do I need a shake. So that is what we are doing today. I am going to give you a number you can actually use, I am going to tell you why that number is a range and not a rule, and I am going to walk you through a normal day of Egyptian food that hits it without a single scoop of powder. And we will hear from Ahmed, who was eating more protein than a professional rugby player. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
