All things PROTEIN!

Mar 27, 2025

 Protein is essential for energy, muscle repair, and even hormone balance—but are you getting enough? Many people fall short without realizing it! Here are some signs your body might need more protein:

  • Constant Cravings – Protein keeps you full. If you're always hungry, you may need more.

  • Muscle Weakness or Slow Recovery – Struggling after workouts? Your muscles might be lacking protein.

  • Fatigue & Brain Fog – Protein helps stabilize blood sugar for sustained energy.

  • Hair, Skin & Nail Issues – Brittle nails, thinning hair, or dry skin? Protein is key for healthy tissue growth.

  • Frequent Illness – Your immune system relies on protein to function properly.

How Much Protein Do You Need?
 Aim for 0.6–1g of protein per pound of body weight, depending on your activity level.

Easy Ways to Boost Your Protein Intake:


  • Start your day with eggs or Greek yogurt.

  • Snack on nuts, seeds, or a protein smoothie.

  • Add lean protein (chicken, fish, tofu) to every meal.

  • Include plant-based sources like quinoa, lentils, or chickpeas.
