🍗 The Truth About Protein

‎ ‎

Hey Fitness Club! 🏃‍♀️ We hope you’re having an active day.

Today, let’s talk about protein—the superstar of nutrition for anyone looking to build muscle, recover faster, or simply feel stronger. You’ve probably heard that protein is essential, but do you know why it’s such a big deal for fitness enthusiasts? Let’s break it down.

TODAY’S FOCUS

Why It’s the Cornerstone of Fitness Nutrition

Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of your muscles, skin, and even hormones. Every time you work out, your muscles experience small tears that need to be repaired. This is where protein comes in. Eating enough protein ensures that your muscles can rebuild stronger, helping you recover faster and make progress toward your fitness goals.

But how much do you really need? For most active individuals, aiming for 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is a solid target. For example, if you weigh 70kg, that’s anywhere from 84 to 140 grams daily. Spread it out across your meals for steady support throughout the day.

Not all protein sources are created equal, though. Lean meats like chicken or turkey, fish, eggs, and dairy are fantastic options. Plant-based eaters? Don’t worry—quinoa, lentils, beans, and tofu are protein-packed too. And let’s not forget about protein shakes, which can be a convenient option for busy days.

Timing also matters. While hitting your daily protein goal is key, having a protein-rich meal or snack within two hours after a workout can supercharge your recovery. Think grilled chicken with some veggies or a quick protein smoothie with some fruit and oats.

Protein isn’t just about muscles; it also helps keep you fuller for longer, making it a valuable tool for managing hunger and supporting overall nutrition. So, the next time you’re planning your meals, make protein a priority—it’s your fitness fuel for the long haul.
