Summary

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss how much protein you actually need to be eating per day if your goal is to lose fat and lean out.

When it comes to protein, unfortunately much of the advice online makes you think that you need to eat like a bodybuilder to get fit – when that's the farthest from the truth.

Instead, today's episode is going to walk you through three simple approaches to figuring out how much protein you actually should be eating per day, whether or not you want to track your calories or macros. You'll walk away knowing how to set a protein goal that's realistic for your lifestyle, feels workable even if you're busy, and actually sets you up for lasting fat loss based on science.

Plus I'm also sharing the one benchmark that puts you ahead of 90% of dieters and address why protein is important… but if you don't also address this one thing it could hold you back from results.

you what a lot of people I feel like aren't talking to you guys about or aren't really fully

0:47.6

explaining through social media content and various pieces of content that you probably consume

online. Because finding out your protein intake does not

need to feel complicated, but it also does not need to make you feel like a bodybuilder in any way,

1:00.3

shape, or form. That said, before we dive into today's episode, I have a very special review. I want to

1:06.7
