Why is everyone talking about protein? From influencers online to your cousin at the family picnic, everyone seems to be focused on eating more protein — and for good reason. Protein does much more than help build muscle. It also plays an important role in: - Keeping you fuller for longer and helping reduce mindless snacking - Supporting muscle mass, which helps maintain a healthy metabolism - Helping stabilize blood sugar when paired with carbohydrates - Supporting healthy, sustainable weight loss goals So, how much protein do you actually need? While everyone's needs are different, many people benefit from aiming for around 30 grams of protein at each meal. Some easy ways to get there: 🥚 Eggs, egg whites, black beans, and cheese (32g protein) 🐟 Salmon, broccoli, and brown rice (30g protein) 🍗 Chicken, high-protein pasta salad, and greens (33g protein) One question we hear often is whether you need protein powder to hit your goals. The answer? Not necessarily. Many people can meet their protein needs through food alone, though supplements can be helpful in certain situations.
