From "Meh" to "Yeah!": Track Your Protein and Watch Your Body Transform (Without the Kale)

Hey, if you've never tracked protein before, gear up for a total game changer! Most people are severely undereating protein. Keep it simple - if your dream weight is 175lbs and you're at 200lbs, that's 175g of protein coming your way daily. Always aim to eat 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight (or your ideal body weight). You're gonna feel like a protein powerhouse and let me tell you, it's gonna be epic.

Protein shakes and bars? Handy, yes. Non-negotiable? Nope. But, getting your daily dose of protein...non-negotiable. It's your ticket to muscle city, and you'll feel full to the brim. No calorie overload happening on this watch! I'll give it to you straight - ditching protein on a weight loss journey is like signing up to be "skinny-fat".

The right training teamed with a protein love affair equals a body that screams strength, tone, and athleticism. Struggling to hit a gram per pound of body weight? Start with getting in 100 grams per day. Consider this the warm-up phase; once you're getting good with the grams, step it up a notch.

I think it’s time you knocked off 'be a protein boss' from your to-do list? Suppose you're not sure where to start, what can you do to get the protein you need? Complete protein is found in animal foods like chicken, beef, pork, eggs and dairy. Vegetarians and vegans still need to get adequate protein but with a bit more finesse.
