THE PROTEIN LADDER FOR WOMEN OVER 40 💪💚
One of the BIGGEST reasons women over 40 struggle with weight loss is… not eating enough protein.
Low protein = faster muscle loss
More muscle = faster metabolism
So, increasing your protein is one of the quickest ways to flatten your belly, boost your energy, and finally feel strong again.
Here are 7 simple steps to get your protein UP:
1️⃣ Track your protein for 2–3 days.
You don’t need to count forever — just long enough to see where you’re at.
2️⃣ Add 10g more per day until you hit 90g.
Don’t jump from 30g → 90g overnight. Increase slowly so it feels easy.
3️⃣ Put protein on your plate FIRST.
Protein → Veggies → Carbs.
This stops you from accidentally “taking off the chicken.”
4️⃣ Have 25g within 90 minutes of waking.
Eggs are the easiest. Your metabolism will thank you.
5️⃣ Swap sweet snacks for sweet protein snacks.
Protein balls, protein flapjacks, Greek yoghurt, etc.
6️⃣ Add one liquid protein option daily.
A shake gives you ~30g for only ~100 calories. Super efficient.
7️⃣ Use the palm-size rule when eating out.
1 palm of protein = the right amount for that meal.
(For eggs: 2 eggs = 1 palm.)
Comment “PROTEIN” and I’ll help you hit your protein goals with ease. 💚
