With so much conflicting advice in the media on high-protein diets, keto, plant-based trends, and influencers selling protein powders, it's no wonder people are confused about how much protein they actually need.

While the standard guideline is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, that's really just a starting point for sedentary adults. If you're active, trying to lose weight, building muscle, or over 50, your protein needs are much higher. Protein plays a vital role in muscle maintenance, metabolism, immune health, and feeling satiated.

Aim for approximately 30g of protein per meal, but we can determine your optimal levels together during our session.  Book a consultation today, and let's create a personalized, sustainable plan together.
