Get Enough Protein 💪🏼
If you want steady energy, improved body composition, and balanced nutrition… start with protein.
Many people under-eat protein and then wonder why they feel:
• Tired by mid-afternoon
• Constantly hungry
• Craving sugar
• Struggling to build or maintain lean muscle
Here’s how to structure your day:
✨ Prioritize protein at every meal
Aim for 25–40g per meal depending on your size and activity level.
✨ Build your plate around it
Choose your protein first (chicken, salmon, Greek yogurt, eggs, beef, tofu, cottage cheese), then add fiber-rich carbs and healthy fats.
✨ Eat protein within 1–2 hours of waking
This helps regulate blood sugar and supports more stable energy throughout the day.
✨ Post-workout = essential
Your muscles need amino acids to repair and adapt.
General guideline:
👉🏼 About 0.7–1g per pound of goal body weight (adjust based on training and goals)
Protein isn’t just about muscle.
It supports immune health, metabolism, recovery, satiety, and overall body maintenance.
Start here. Stay consistent. Watch your energy shift.
