The Protein Puzzle: How Much Do You Actually Need?


Listen Later

Protein doesn’t have to be confusing, but it often is thanks to outdated recommendations, diet culture myths, and influencers pushing extremes. Maggie, Christin, and Joyce get real about how much protein you actually need, why it matters for more than just muscle, and how your needs shift based on activity, age, and goals. They break down common misconceptions (like the infamous “30 grams per meal” rule), talk about why protein becomes even more important as you age, and offer practical tips for hitting your target without living on deli meat. Whether you’re busy, trying to feel better in your body, or even plant-based, this episode helps cut through the noise and give you a no-BS approach to protein intake.
