How Much Protein is Enough?

I wish women would eat more protein!

I get it, it’s not as easy to grab protein on the run but you’re gonna be fuelled with more energy, have happier hormones and even have better skin if you eat your protein!!

Here’s why….

✔️Protein provides structure to our tissues and cells,

✔️Protein supports our immune system

✔️Adequate protein is necessary for healthy detoxification in our bodies - think liver function

✔️Protein is needed to create many of our hormones

✔️Protein has a stabilising effect on your blood glucose levels therefore it helps to maintain your energy levels

✔️By eating adequate amounts of protein you will be less likely to have cravings for sugar and carbs!

👉So how much protein should you eat?

A rough guide is to consume 1g of protein for every kg of ideal body weight, absolute minimum!

If, however, you are doing any form of strength training, you have elevated blood glucose levels, your hormones are out of whack or your energy levels are low, I recommend you consume a little more!
