Real Talk: "The best results happen long after you get bored of doing it."

Working out without protein is like building a house without bricks. But don’t worry, you don’t have to be perfect with your diet to see big results. Just aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders; it’s essential for everyone, especially if you’re active or want to stay strong as you age. 

Here’s 3 ways to hit your protein goals without overcomplicating it:

1. 1/4 Plate Rule
With every meal, fill at least 1/4 of your plate with protein. Think lean ground beef, steak, chicken, eggs, fish, lentils, or beans. Simple and effective.

2. Protein Snacks
Swap carb-heavy snacks for high-protein options like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, edamame, or nuts. Even 10-15g from a snack adds up by day’s end.

3. Find a Good-Tasting Protein Powder
A protein shake is an easy boost, perfect post-workout or as a snack. Add it to milk, smoothies, or oatmeal. Pro tip: sample a few flavours before committing to that Costco-size tub.

Hitting your protein requirement doesn’t have to be complicated—small changes build big results over time.

Have a wonderful day,
