Protein Rich Diets, Gut Microbiome and Body Composition

A June 2024 study by the University of Illinois Chicago said,

"These findings provide a crucial foundation for understanding how protein diets influence the gut microbiome and open doors for further investigations into the role of diet in promoting a healthy gut and overall health,"

Protein Intake

Dr Peter Attia writes,

“The ideal amount can vary from person to person, but the data suggest that for active people with normal kidney function, one gramme per pound of body weight per day, or 2.2 grammes per kilogram body weight per day.”

Attia for himself gets this across the day in four servings, with at least one of them being a whey protein shake. So that works out as, “..a protein shake, a high-protein snack, and two protein meals.”
