You're probably not getting enough protein

The Protein Problem.

Most people I start working with are eating about 50-70g protein per day. 

They think that's "enough."

It's not.

If you're 70kg and want to lose fat without losing muscle, feel full, and have stable energy - you need 120-140g

You know prioritising protein is key, especially if you are dieting, especially if you're 40+. But more often than not people think they are consuming more than they really are. 

Protein is important in order to maintain as much lean body mass as possible and maximise fat loss. Most people assume they want to lose weight but what’s far more important is losing fat & maintaining muscle. 

But, let's be honest, getting enough protein each day is not easy and breakfast is the most challenging. Starting your day with a breakfast high in refined carbohydrates or sugars—like pastries, sugary cereals, or white bread—may seem convenient, but is not ideal.

Do you often find yourself feeling sluggish by mid-morning, struggling to stay focused, or reaching for that extra cup of coffee just to make it through the day? If so, you're not alone. Many people experience an energy slump, and what you eat for breakfast could be the culprit.

A high-protein breakfast however can help you stay fuelled, focused, and full of energy for much longer and if you are not getting your protein in before lunch then there is no way you are going to meet your daily protein requirement. 

So here's a habit I recommend you adopt...

Eat 50 grams of protein before 10.30am. 

How? 

With a protein based breakfast and mid morning snack.
