About this data
Daily supply of protein from animal-based vs. plant-based products, measured as the average supply in grams per person per day. Protein of animal origin includes protein supplied in the form of all meat commodities, eggs and dairy products, and fish and seafood. Countries that lie above the grey line source a higher proportion of protein from animal-based than plant-based foods.
