Protein is a key nutrient for women over age 40 who are trying to lose fat. If you are eating 2 eggs at breakfast, that isn't enough. 

Eating sufficient protein during your fat loss journey will help you maintain your lean muscle mass as you lose fat. It will also help you stay more full & satisfied. Eating sufficient protein also helps you burn more calories through the Thermogenic Effect of Food.

You can use the formula below to estimate your protein needs:

1.6 - 2.4 g protein/kg body weight; OR roughly 1 g per pound of body weight. For women who have a lot of weight to lose, using goal weight for these estimates is ideal.
