On June 14, USDEC will be hosting key opinion leaders (KOLs) from across Southeast Asia at the U.S. Center for Dairy Excellence (U.S. CDE) for a nutrition dialogue meeting to discuss the importance of protein quality, quantity, and distribution. University professors, nutritionists, dietitians, and fitness experts will come together for an intimate and interactive session exemplifying how these factors play an essential role in optimizing protein intake to fuel varying life stages and active lifestyles.

The aim is to strengthen relationships with the KOL community while also reinforcing that protein sources are not all the same for protein quality and the science-backed advantages of U.S. dairy proteins in meeting daily nutritional requirements.

The session will be led by registered dietitians Leslie Bonci, owner of nutrition consulting company Active Eating Advice, and Pauline Chan, vice president of the Singapore Nutrition and Dietetic Association and director of nutrition consultancy Food & Nutrition Specialists. Bonci and Chan will also demonstrate how U.S. dairy proteins can be easily incorporated into everyday meal planning in the U.S. CDE demo kitchen.
