How much protein do you really need to consume?

According to Pew Research Center, 79% of New Year's resolutions are
about one thing: health. It's Been a Minute is kicking off 2025
with a little series called "new year, new me." We're getting into

protein recipes are all the rage on Instagram, and producers are
putting it in everything from pancakes to ice cream. We all need to

senior reporter Kenny Torrella and freelance food writer Samantha
Maxwell to discuss America's protein kick - and how protein is
getting politicized by MAHA (Make America Healthy Again).
