How To Get More Protein

TAKING ACTION:

✅Share one tip for getting in your protein each day! I want to hear from everyone today!

Let’s talk about protein. We’ve discussed why rest & recovery and sufficient carb intake are important with our extra movement this month, but it’s also important to make sure you’re hitting your protein goal every day this month.

As you’re well aware, protein is our anchor macro. However, it’s even more critical this month because we’ve increased our activity with our STEPtember challenge. Here’s why ⬇️

🍽 Extra muscle repair: The added walking increases overall muscle stress on top of your HIIT and strength sessions. Protein supplies the amino acids needed to repair that tissue so you recover better and keep progressing.

🍽 Protecting lean muscle: Higher activity raises your calorie burn. Without enough protein, your body is more likely to break down muscle for energy instead of using fat or food.

🍽 Better recovery & adaptation: Adequate protein helps reduce soreness, supports strength gains, and keeps your body adapting to the new training load instead of just getting more tired.

Again, we don’t want our extra activity this month to be done in vain. Protein is always the priority, and especially this month! Check out the simple ways to sneak more protein into your diet!
