Read More »I'm trying to lose weight. Could protein shakes help? Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. Makers of protein shakes may say that their products help lower body fat or promote weight loss. But protein shakes aren't a magic way to lose weight. Some studies find that consuming a higher than usual amount of protein in your diet may offer benefits. For example, eating or drinking products that are high in protein may help you lower body fat, keep lean muscle, feel full and lose weight. But evidence is limited. And studies often test many protein sources and not only protein shakes. Replacing meals with protein shakes may help you lower your daily calories, which can help you lose weight. But in time you'll need to start eating solid food again. Eating solid food may cause excess weight to return if you don't make smart food choices. And if you rely too much on protein shakes to replace daily meals, you'll miss out on the healthy benefits of whole foods. Since protein has calories, consuming too much can make it harder to lose weight. This can happen if you drink protein shakes along with your usual diet and you're not eating less calories or exercising. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans state that an average adult needs about 46 to 56 grams of protein a day. This amount depends on your weight and overall health. As long as you're eating a healthy diet, you likely don't need to add extra protein through protein shakes or other sources. Keep in mind that the key to losing weight is burning more calories than you consume. Choose healthy foods, such as:

Protein deficiency is when your intake is unable to meet your body’s requirements. An estimated one billion people worldwide suffer from inadequate protein intake ( 1 ). The problem is especially severe in Central Africa and South Asia, where up to 30% of children get too little protein from their diet ( 2 ). Certain people in developed countries are also at risk. This includes people who follow an imbalanced diet, as well as institutionalized older people and hospitalized patients ( 3 , 4 ). While true protein deficiency is uncommon in the Western world, some people get very low amounts from their diet. Too little protein may cause changes in body composition that develop over a long period of time, such as muscle wasting. The most severe form of protein deficiency is known as kwashiorkor. It most often occurs in children in developing countries where famine and imbalanced diets are common. Protein deficiency can affect almost all aspects of body function. As a result, it is associated with many symptoms. Some of these symptoms may start to occur even when protein deficiency is marginal. They are listed below, along with some typical symptoms of kwashiorkor. Summary: Protein deficiency is when people do not get adequate amounts of protein from their diet. Kwashiorkor, its most severe form, is most commonly seen in children in developing countries.
