Everyday protein beyond the protein shake

2026-10-09 · Health in Action editorial team

Protein helps build and maintain body tissues. The practical question is how to include it regularly in your usual meals.

Put it into practice

Eggs, yogurt, fish, meat, beans and lentils offer different options. Rotate sources to suit your budget and preferences rather than relying on one product.

Things to keep in mind

Yogurt and oats at breakfast, lentils at lunch and fish at dinner are one example of variety. If you have kidney disease, discuss your intake individually with a clinician.

Your next step

Educational information for adults. Seek individual professional advice for illness, pregnancy, injury or prescribed treatment.
