WEEK 5 Eat – Protein
Key points:
- Protein will help with muscle building (AKA toning) as well as helping your lose body fat
- Aim to hit your protein target within 20g
- More protein is not better – your body can only use so much
- You might find our target low. We have based this on your LEAN body mass which is more accurate so there’s no need for us to overestimate.
- Aim to take in protein in EVERY meal that you eat
- Not all protein created equal – in order of protein quality
- 1. Meat/fish/eggs
- 2. Protein shakes
- 3. Quorn
- 4. Beans/soy/legumes/grains
- Best proteins are complete proteins which can be easily used by the body to tone up and lose fat
- If your protein too low – add protein shakes
- If your protein too high – stop having protein shakes
