Hey Jordan,
I have a 5 year old that weighs 40lbs. and 2 year old that weighs 28lbs. My wife and I were discussing their protein needs recently and she was focused on giving them more than I felt necessary and I mentioned that 1.6 grams/kg of bodyweight is sufficient for most adults so it’s probably the same for them. My initial though was that my 5 year old would need about 30 grams each day and my 2 year old could use about 20. Then I realized, I have no idea if those guidelines are different for kids that are so young. What would you recommend as far as a daily protein intake guideline for them?
Thanks,
Rory
