Now available: protein tool

Protein is a component of every cell in the human body and is necessary for proper growth and development, especially during childhood, adolescence and pregnancy. For children, it is important to meet their daily protein requirements by eating a variety of foods.

In collaboration with the Nutrition Society of Nigeria, we have developed a practical tool which can be used to estimate a child’s protein intake and for comparison to the levels recommended by guidelines. The tool also contains information pertinent to parents and caregivers.
