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!

Curious about how much protein YOU should be getting? Comment PROTEIN and I’ll work some numbers for ya!

Not all Trader Joe’s snacks are created equal.

SAVE these dietitian approved finds that I reach for on the regular.

Steal my formula for building a balanced snack…

Protein/healthy fat + carbs OR Protein/fat

In other words, no “naked” carbs!

Pairing this way creates steady energy, keeps you more satisfied and curbs cravings keeping you from a snack attack 20 minutes later.

Which of these snacks are you adding to your list?
