The number one thing most people are getting wrong when it comes to eating well
Did you know that protein is not only essential for every cell in your body, BUT your body needs it to function properly! And most people aren't eating enough!
Protein will help you:
❤ Build muscle
❤ Feel fuller for longer
❤ Slow down the digestion of other foods like carbohydrates
❤ Supports overall energy
AND helps with the production of your hormones, especially, thyroid, insulin and oestrogen.
Eating the right amount of protein is CRUCIAL for energy production and healthy weight loss, and helps reduce your perimenopause + menopause symptoms.
You need about 1–1.2g of protein per kg of body weight (more if you are training).
So if you weigh 65kg, then you need about 78g of protein per day. Aiming for 20g of protein from your main protein source per main meal is a good rule of thumb.
Here's what approximately 20g of protein looks like:
3 whole eggs
1 can of drained chickpeas or lentils
120g of feta cheese
165g of tofu
200g full-fat Greek yoghurt
95g of almonds
85g of chicken
75g of beef
105g of salmon
