Collagen doesn't count towards your protein needs - here's why 👇🏼
Hey, I’m Shaira, a certified strength and nutrition coach. I compete in powerlifting and coach clients in both strength and nutrition, with a focus on sustainable habits and real-life application. I don’t push trends, just methods that work.
Collagen is great for your skin, hair, and joints—but it doesn’t count toward your daily protein goal.
Collagen lacks certain essential amino acids, like tryptophan, which means it can’t support muscle repair or growth the way complete proteins do.
Think of collagen as a supplement for recovery and overall health, not a replacement for chicken, beef, eggs, dairy, or whey.
Want to get stronger, cut the guesswork, and stay consistent?
I coach busy women & moms in strength training + simple nutrition so you actually see progress without dieting your sanity away.
👉 DM me “STRONG” if you want coaching or custom training.
You don’t have to do this alone — I’ll help you build strength that lasts.
