10. The Protein Myth: Do We Really Need to Eat As Much As We Think?

These days, "healthy eating" seems to mean "eat all of the protein, with some protein powder sprinkled on top." This can be super stressful for parents who worry their kids aren't big fans of meat or beans (or protein powder!). And it really messes with pregnant ladies' heads, as if eating isn't tricky enough during those months.  We cut through the marketing hype and misinformation to share some solid info on how much protein you need...and why this is actually one thing we can relax about. Don't forget to check out our show notes for links to everything discussed in the episode (like Amy's awesome guide to protein servings for kids!). And let us know if the protein myth has been messing with your head. Email [email protected], or find us on social media (@v_solesmith, @yummytoddlerfood, @yummyfamilyfood).
