You’re not just “eating food.”
You’re building your body.
Every muscle.
Every tendon.
Every enzyme.
Every brain chemical.
All built from the protein you eat.
Protein isn’t just about getting jacked.
It rebuilds tissue.
It supports joints.
It stabilizes mood.
It drives recovery.
It literally creates the chemicals that help you sleep and stay motivated.
Low protein doesn’t just slow progress.
It affects how you think, feel, and perform.
If you train hard but under-eat protein…
you’re trying to build a house without bricks.
Men who want to perform, recover, and stay sharp after 40:
0.7–1g per pound of ideal bodyweight.
Start there.
Be consistent.
Build the body you live in.
