Description

Feeling overwhelmed by protein pressure? You’re not imagining it—there’s a whole lot of hype out there, and parents everywhere are stressing about whether their little ones are getting “enough.”

 

In this episode, Kathy breaks down the viral reel that sparked 1.2 million views and over 300 comments—all centered around one surprising fact: half an egg counts as a protein serving for toddlers. She dives into why portion sizes feel so confusing, what protein needs really look like in babies and toddlers, and how easily misinformation online can make you question your feeding choices.

 

You’ll hear Kathy unpack the biggest concerns from parents—like whether a toddler can eat two eggs a day (yes), whether eight eggs is too much (let’s talk boundaries), and whether too much protein will hurt their kidneys (spoiler: only in unrealistic scenarios). She also shares how portion distortion and pressure to “boost protein” at every meal can actually make feeding feel harder than it needs to be.

 

If you’ve ever second-guessed your toddler’s portions, panicked about protein, or wondered what’s actually normal, this episode will help you breathe easier, zoom out, and feed your little one with confidence (and a lot less stress).
