About this episode

Rachael DeVaux discusses the importance of protein in diets and meal planning with Dr. Will Cole.

Registered dietitian and personal trainer Rachael DeVaux joins Dr. Will Cole to make the case for protein as the most important - and most underestimated - macro in most people's diets. They cover how much protein you actually need, why breakfast is the most critical meal to front-load it, the complete vs. incomplete protein debate, and what the new HHS dietary guidelines finally got right. Rachael also walks through a full day of meals that hits 120 grams of protein, her approach to feeding toddlers for brain health and stable blood sugar, and why she tracks protein but removed calories entirely from her cookbook.
