The Society of Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) is hosting The Power of Protein: Separating Hype from Reality on 6 May 2014

HOW much protein does one have to take? Is more, better? A live webinar hosted by the Society of Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) will discuss the most substantiated health effects of protein, specifically on appetite, weight management, sarcopenia and athletic performance.

Sharing their expertise on the topic are:

-Heather Leidy, PhD, Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology at the University of Missouri

-Nancy R. Rodriguez, PhD, RD, FACSM, Departments of Kinesiology and Allied Health at the University of Connecticut, Storrs.

“The Power of Protein: Separating Hype from Reality,” will be held on Tuesday, May 6 from 2:00 – 3:15 p.m. EST.

Participants will learn how to:
-outline the multiple health benefits of protein, beyond muscle building (e.g. satiety/weight mgmt., healthy aging, blood sugar control, etc.),
-compare the IOM’s recommended range of protein intake (10-35cal %) to the RDA minimum intake (0.8g/kg/day) and identify specific demographic groups that may benefit from the higher levels,
-design diets that include evenly-distributed protein levels throughout the day from a variety of sources, starting with breakfast and,
-identify foods that are high-quality sources of protein.
