💪🏼HOW MUCH PROTEIN SHOULD I EAT IN A DAY?💪🏼

a simple and effective protein target to shoot for each day is one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. protein is essential for building and repairing muscle, which in turn increases your metabolism, so it is CRITICAL that you make sure you are eating enough.

most people struggle with getting in enough protein throughout the day, so i recommend that my clients eat 30-40g at each meal and 10-15g at each snack. spreading out your protein makes the goal more manageable and it also makes it easier on your body to digest and use effectively.

🥕WHAT IS A BALANCED MEAL?🥕

a balanced meal consists of 4 components: a protein, a carb, a fat, and a veggie. having these 4 components makes sure you are getting both macronutrients (nutrients needed in large quantities) and micronutrients (nutrients needed in small quantities).

next time you are creating a meal, use this rule to figure out what you are missing or have too much of in order to turn your food into nutrient dense fuel!
