Being surrounded by doctors, nutritionists, and other health professionals while working in the public health area led me to believe that I know enough about nutrition and I was getting enough protein from my diet. Three eggs, 200 grams of chicken, a bowl of curd, and a handful of what I believed to be high-protein pumpkin and chia seeds made up my typical day.

My hypothesis that I was protein deficient was confirmed by a health app. This insight led to a more thorough examination of dietary practices, protein intake, and the vital function that protein plays in general health.
