Kids need enough protein for growth, mental development, and a healthy immune system – and so many of them are not getting enough. The daily recommendations are 0.95g of protein per kg of body weight for 4-13-year-olds and 0.85g per kg of body weight for 14-18 year-olds. For infants and toddlers under the age of 4, 1-1.5g per kg is needed.
