Does Collagen Count as Protein? (And What It’s Actually Good For) (Fuel-Up Friday)


Listen Later

Today we’re answering a question I get all the time:

“Can I count collagen toward my daily protein?”

Because if you’ve ever tried to hit something like 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight, you know this:

  • It feels hard at first
  • It’s unfamiliar
  • And people look for shortcuts

So collagen comes up a lot.

It’s marketed as protein.
 It’s easy to drink.
 It feels “healthy.”

But here’s the honest answer:

Collagen is not a muscle-building protein.
 But it is a useful tool—when used correctly.

Today we’re doing a full collagen masterclass:

  • What collagen is (and isn’t)
  • Whether it counts toward protein goals
  • What it’s actually good for
  • How to use it properly
  • Common mistakes and misuse

And how to combine it with a smart protein strategy

Let’s break it down.
