THIS Even Shocked Me!
50!
This is the daily recommended protein intake from the FDA.
It doesn't factor in weight, muscle density, fat %, height, or any other meaningful measurements...
Just one blanket statement for everyone.
50 grams of protein.
Compare this with what our clients eat...
Often 125g, 150g, and even MORE depending on the client we're helping reach her body composition goals.
Why do we recommend so much more?
It's not because the FDA is wrong and we're right.
They're providing basic nutrition guidelines.
NOT advice on toning and building lasting muscle definition that keeps you strong, healthy, and mobile as you age.
So today's takeaway?
If you track nothing else, at least start with protein. Just see how much you're eating and don't overestimate.
Then raise it and see if you don't start building more muscle faster than you'd ever expect.
There's no magic key to toning, but protein is pretty damn close!
