@jasminejuliereader: What does 5 grams of protein ACTUALLY look like? For my toddler Bailey, who has PKU (phenylketonuria), 5g of natural protein is his entire daily allowance. And as you can see, 5g of protein can look VERY different depending on the food. From cheese to peas, bread to mince pies, the amount of food you can eat to get the same amount of protein varies massively. PKU is a rare inherited metabolic condition that means Bailey can’t process phenylalanine, an amino acid found in protein, properly. Managing his protein intake is part of our everyday life, and it’s something we have to think about with practically every meal and snack. So when people hear “only 5 grams”, I want to show them what that actually means in real life. I’d love to know: which of these foods surprised you the most?
