⏱️ millionaireME Minute | The Protein Threshold That Changed Everything for Me 🍽️
Greetings!
It’s Wednesday, December 10th, 2025.
Including today, there are 21 days left in 2025, and, yes, we are still racing toward a better life one small habit at a time.
Today’s insight? It’s one that blindsided me—in the best way.
A new study (linked below) highlights something I’ve discovered the hard way over decades:
Humans have a protein threshold that must be met each day to naturally suppress appetite.
And if we don’t reach it early?
Our bodies go hunting later.
(In my case…ravenously. Think: I-could-eat-my-own-arm hungry. 😅)
But here’s the fascinating part:
When that protein threshold is met—especially earlier in the day—cravings shrink, nighttime hunger fades, and overeating drops dramatically.
In other words:
High-protein morning → calmer evening → better decisions → better body → better life.
This research also uncovered a quirky but powerful bonus: Adding a little calcium increases the appetite-suppressing effect.
That means:
  • A small multivitamin with breakfast or
  • (Wait for it…) a tiny amount of crushed eggshell added to your eggs
…creates a “double-whammy” effect for appetite control. (Yes, I know. Eggshell. But it works.)
Why this hit me so personally
For most of my adult life, the evening hours have been my nutritional witching hour—the time I’ve undone great days with bad choices.
Only recently did I realize:
If I front-load protein and healthy fats, that evening chaos disappears.
This study simply confirmed what my body has been trying to tell me for years.
If you want to experiment…
Try it for one week:
  1. Start your day with 30–40g of protein.
  2. Add a small source of calcium (eggshell optional but on-brand brave 😄).
  3. Track your evening appetite and behavior.
If your experience matches the research—and mine—it could change how you fuel your days, your goals, and your self-control.
Happy.
Healthy.
Wealthy.
Wise.
That’s the game.
If you test this out, tell me how it goes. Your story might help the next person earn their wings. 🪽
