Save this quick guide to refer to the next time you’re racking your brain to hit your protein goals while also focusing on weight loss.
Protein is the most satiating nutrient, and it’s especially important in midlife to maintain or build lean muscle which will ultimately make weight loss easier.
I usually recommend getting at least 25-30 grams with each meal (most of the women I work with fall short of this when we first get started) but personally I aim for about 1g per pound of body weight. It really depends on your goals!
