                                According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average American consumes more protein than the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). However, this broad statistic can be misleading, and it’s worth asking if Americans are deficient in protein, particularly within specific at-risk populations.
