No brainer way to lose weight while feeling full?
Eat lots of protein & here’s why:
đItâs harder to overeat on protein compared to carbs & fat (that seem to go down a lot quicker).
đProtein is more satiating.
đ„Protein helps control blood sugar so you wonât feel a surge of energy & then a crash.
đŁProtein will help build & repair lean muscle.
đ€Eating more protein doesnât mean that youâll build more muscle – but it will help support muscle growth if youâre doing the right exercise – hint: resistance training!
đđ»Protein is 4 calories per gram (fat is 9 cals/g, carbs are 4 cals/g).
âIâm NOT an advocate of idolizing one macro-nutrient – we need all three macros: carbs, fat & protein, but protein is your best friend whether you want to lose weight, maintain or even gain weight.
FYI: Eating a minimum 1g protein per pound of body weight has helped me maintain my weight since high school.
