Graham Low Urges 20-30 Grams of Protein Per Meal, Rejecting Costly Fad Products

Summary

  • 20 to 30 grams of protein per main meal is a practical target for most adults, Graham Low said, arguing people usually do not need supermarket protein-branded products to meet it.
  • Protein supports muscle repair, immunity and exercise recovery, and Low said it becomes more important with age as natural muscle loss can make daily tasks harder.
  • Everyday foods such as eggs, chicken, fish, Greek yoghurt, beans, lentils and chickpeas can provide enough protein without extra cost.
  • Low advised spreading protein across the day—such as eggs or yoghurt at breakfast, chicken or tuna at lunch, and lean meat, fish or beans at dinner—alongside regular strength training.
