Am I Eating Enough PROTEIN? 🤔 Eating plant-based is great... if you do it well!
Any diet can be unbalanced! All of our nutrients are important. Protein is one that gets a lot of attention, most of it positive. But.. there are a few things you should know.
Protein has energy, as in calories (4kcal/g), and our bodies will store excess energy as fat no matter what form we eat it in. Yes, protein intake can lead to increases in body fat!
The simple answer is, you are likely getting enough protein. The great thing about protein is our body is recycling it all the time, so we don't need to eat a full stock of it daily.😅
When it comes to building muscle, the TIMING of your protein meals is really important.💪
AND... This may surprise you... But you can only process 20g of protein in a sitting!😲😲
So there is no point eating up a load in one go. So try not to stress too much! Try these simple subs in your diet for something different.
