Protein is an important macronutrient that often gets overlooked in women’s health, especially in regard to hormone health. Benefits of eating adequate protein include:
👉 Blood sugar regulation
👉 Reduced cravings
👉 Improved satiety
👉 Increased metabolism
👉 Maintaining a healthy weight
👉 Supports muscle building and strength
👉 Improved recovery
It’s essential to your hormone health that you are consuming adequate protein each and every day.
But “𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏?”
While this will be different for each woman, based on age, weight, muscle mass, activity level and health coach, my general recommendation is for women to consume about 35-45 grams of protein at each meal and 15-20 grams with snacks.
Give yourself time to ease into adding more protein to your day. You don’t have to jump to 140 grams per day overnight.
Start by increasing your intake by adding an extra 20-30 grams.
Find the protein sources that you enjoy and start increasing your portions of those foods. Two simple strategies:
- Aim to have 4-6 ounces of high quality animal protein at each of your meals. Or
- Find a high quality protein powder, like Equip use code Laini for 15% off, and increase the serving size to get 30-40 grams.
Stay consistent and before you know it, you’ll be hitting your protein goal with ease!
Trust me! Your metabolism, mood, hormones and health will thank you!
