Detailed explanation-1: -Many Americans get the right amount of protein needed from meat, poultry, and eggs, but do not meet the recommendations for seafood or nuts, seeds, and soy products.
Detailed explanation-2: -Contrary to the hype that everyone needs more protein, most people in the U.S. meet or exceed their needs. This is especially true for males ages 19–59. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025 indicate that men in that age range exceed their protein recommendations, especially from meat, poultry and eggs.
Detailed explanation-3: -You’d think the protein craze is a concerted push to solve a culture-wide protein deficiency problem-only there isn’t one. Most Americans eat double what the average person needs (the recommended amount is 0.36 grams per pound of body weight).
Detailed explanation-4: -CFANS Insights survey shows that 80 percent of U.S. consumers today prefer animal-based protein, but demand for plant-based products is growing across market segments.
