Why choose a high protein cereal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Protein is popularly known for its role in building muscle, but it\u2019s also a key player in virtually every  body function (1<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends the average healthy adult consume .36 grams per pound of body weight, or 56 grams per day for men and 46 grams per day for women. However, research suggests most people would likely benefit from more than this. (2<\/a>, 3<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your exact protein needs will vary depending on weight, your physical activity level, age, fitness goals, health needs, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, opting for a high protein cereal can help you boost your daily protein consumption, especially when you choose high protein cereal over standard, low protein options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
