#119: Protein: Why It Matters, How Much You Need, and Practical Tips to Eat Enough


Listen Later

Struggling to get enough protein in your day? Most of us aren’t eating enough — and how do I know? Because it’s almost impossible to do without conscious effort and some level of meal planning.

So let’s talk about protein.

In this episode, I share:

  1. Why protein is especially important in midlife
  2. How much you really need
  3. How to calculate your daily target
  4. What to look for in a good protein powder
  5. A practical, real-life way to plan your meals to hit your protein goal without stress


P.S. If you have questions about protein, send them to me — I’d love to do a future episode answering your FAQs. Send me a message via Instagram >>

Enjoy the show!
