- I have a question about the episode Food Lies You Believe! - Truth About Protein, Muscle, Alcohol & Exercise For Longevity | Peter Attia and the clip Protein Power. I am a third-year dietetics student studying to get my master's and sit for the RD exam, and I am continuing to hear professors suggest that the adequate protein amount is 0.8g/kg of body weight, which is far lower than what you and other professionals have suggested for muscle maintenance, growth, and longevity. Why is this continuing to be taught? How do I find other reliable sources that reinforce the idea that more protein is needed for longevity, muscle maintenance, and growth?
