Every woman I talk to says the same thing. "I can't eat that much protein." Yes you can. You just haven't seen the math. If you weigh 140 lbs, start with 100 grams a day. That's 0.7 grams per pound. Two meals with 30–40g of protein each. A protein coffee or shake to fill the gap. Done. And here's the part nobody tells you — 100 grams of protein is only 400 calories. Out of 1800. That's 20% of your food for the day. You're not eating too much protein. You're eating way too little. I spent 30 years underfueling my body and wondering why I was exhausted, craving sugar, and losing muscle. This is what changed everything. Start with 0.7. Build from there. Your body will tell you when it wants more. Save this for your next grocery run. Remember, protein first, then fill in the rest. 💪

Alright. Day 1 back on track after my vacation week. I started this morning with my protein coffee. 30g of protein before I even think about eating. That's the move. Here's what I know after years of doing this wrong and finally doing it right: most women over 40 are eating half the protein their body actually needs. Then they wonder why they're tired by 2pm, craving sugar after dinner, and losing muscle no matter what they do. Protein changed everything for me. Not a diet. Not restriction. Just giving my body what it's actually asking for. So here's my challenge for the community this week: Post a photo of one meal today and tell me how much protein is in it. Don't know how much protein? Even better. Post it anyway and I'll help you figure it out. That's literally what I'm here for. I'll go first. ☕👇

The taco salad! My favorite way to eat salad. 6 oz of ground beef gets me over 30 grams of protein. A sprinkle of cheese adds a bit more. Mixed greens, avocado, cucumbers, red onion and cherry tomatoes add fibre and all kinds of nutrients. Top it off will spicy salsa and there’s another easy, delicious high protein meal. Put it on the rotation. Can you make your favourite salad a high protein choice? Show us your go to for salads that make muscles! 💪

My most important meal to me is breakfast.. I enjoy two eggs with some veggies and half a cup of cottage cheese . Also an apple and 1 ounce of walnuts. That gives me 30 grams of protein, some fibre and fat . Do you think that is a healthy breakfast? does that check all the boxes ?

Hamburger’s are my favourite thing to eat. I used to avoid them because of the high fat content of the beef. Then when I went low carb, I would eat the patty without the bun. Now, I enjoy freely. Just not too often and rarely the fast food options. I love a good homemade smash burger. Six ounces of 80/20 ground beef has 32 grams of protein. So satisfying! What is your favourite protein to eat?
