Protein pointers
Whenever possible try to spread out your protein consumption throughout the day (instead of leaving most of it until dinner time!). Our bodies can’t store protein so we either use it or lose it.
Experts suggest that it’s good to aim for at least 20g of protein during each meal and 5-10 grams from snacks. But when in doubt, speak to your GP.*
