Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders and eating less isn’t always the answer.
As we move through midlife, maintaining muscle becomes even more important. Muscle supports our strength, metabolism, bones, balance and our ability to keep doing the things we love.
When you consistently under-eat protein, your body doesn’t have enough of the building material it needs to repair and build muscle, even if you’re strength training. You may also notice slower recovery, less energy and more hunger throughout the day.
You don’t need to be perfect or live on protein shakes. Start by including a good protein source at every meal and aim for around 25–30 grams at a time.
Strength training sends the signal. Protein gives your body what it needs to respond. 💪
