Ever wonder if you're getting enough protein?
The truth is, most of us don't need to obsess over every gram. Instead of memorizing numbers, it helps to know what protein actually looks like on your plate.
This infographic shows simple, everyday portions of common foods that provide about 20 grams of protein - from chicken and salmon to Greek yogurt, lentils, eggs, and black beans.
A simple rule of thumb:
✔ Include a source of protein at each main meal.
✔ Aim for roughly 20-30 grams per meal.
✔ Focus on consistency, not perfection.
Healthy eating isn't about building the perfect plate every single day. It's about creating habits that work in real life.
