Webinar: Monday Dec 14 - Protein Foods Across all Healthy Life Stages

 

Protein Foods Across all Healthy Life Stages

 

Don't miss this informative webinar! 

Monday, December 14, 1:00 - 2:00 ET


The latest version of Canada’s Food Guide, released in 2019, for the first time listed a nutrient, ‘protein’ as a food group. The ‘protein foods’ group was created by combining meat and alternatives with milk and alternatives, with an emphasis on including more plant based protein sources. While the depiction of the food guide as a simple plate model has advantages in messaging, this has also created some concerns with respect to what are considered protein foods, and why do we need them.

The goal of this presentation will be to describe protein foods with examples, and why protein is important in the context of healthy individuals across different life stages, including the vulnerable groups of children and elderly.

Speakers: Rajavel Elango , PhD - University of British Columbia
