Exploring Protein Sources From Animals and Plants

Continuing Education Credits for: CDR, NSCA, ACSM

Summary

National Dairy Council’s webinar “Protein: Plant? Animal? Health? Planet?” helps health, wellness and sustainability professionals understand protein quality, quantity and environmental considerations for plant and animal sources of protein. Trend spotters and health experts have been focusing on plant-based proteins, but what does the science say about these proteins’ quantity, quality and impact on the environment and public health? This webinar will bring the research to the table to discuss how plant and animal foods complement each other within healthy eating patterns in the context of a plant-pasted diet paired with milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Objectives

After this presentation, attendees should be able to:

  • Understand the varying interpretations among health professionals and consumers surrounding the meaning of “plant-based”.
  • Discuss the variability among RDA, DRI and the distribution of food calories in the US.
  • Explore what’s new in protein research as it relates to optimal intake and its potential health benefits.
  • Consider the quantity, quality, bioavailability and sustainability of animal versus plant-based proteins.
  • Become familiar with the unique role of cattle in the food chain.
  • Gain knowledge of the power of dairy and plants as a super food power couple, along with examples of healthy recipes to recommend to clients.
