Most clients we speak to are often not eating enough protein! Protein is so incredibly important – and so are your protein choices. If weight loss is a goal for you, then it is even more important – studies suggest for weight loss purposes, eating up to 2-2.2kg of protein per kilo of bodyweight is an optimal amount. So for example, a 70kg female would aim for approximately 140g and a 90kg male could aim for around 180g.
If numbers aren’t your thing, and you’re looking to firstly just better your health – then aiming for 4 x 30-35g serves is a great place to begin!
