❌Warning: The following statements are myths, but we’re here to bust them 👊
Protein gets more false statements thrown at it than almost anything else in fitness. Let’s protect protein and clear a few up!
1. You don’t need to be a bodybuilder to benefit from protein. Protein is an important part of everyone’s diet- no matter the age, gender or physical strength.
2. Your body isn’t capped at 30 grams per meal. Your protein intake depends on a bunch of different factors.
3. There are plenty of ways to hit your protein goals without eating meat. Plenty of plant based foods pack in the protein.
4. Protein doesn’t equal muscle. Protein provides the building blocks for tissue, but your body only uses what it needs for repair. Anything extra is burned for energy or stored.
5. You don’t need a shaker bottle to hit your protein goals. While it can help, whole foods are a great source of protein.

Sunday isn’t for perfect. It’s for planning.
You don’t need to reinvent yourself every Monday, you just need to reset on Sunday.
Tackle one thing a week and stick to it. Write it down. Put it in your calendar. Treat it like an important business meeting, because it is one. The last person you should cancel on is yourself.
We’ll help you start: What’s your one non-negotiable this week? Comment below and let’s make it happen!
