What’s more important?
If weight loss is your goal, you need to prioritize staying within your calorie deficit to lose fat…
Protein IS important, but it’s secondary…
So do your BEST to keep your protein up to keep you fuller longer and to protect against muscle wasting…
If you come up short on protein, work on increasing it the following day.
Here are a 3 strategies:
- aim for 25-30g protein at meals (this may mean you need to increase current serving sizes)
- eat 10g protein at all snacks
- include one protein shake daily
And remember PATIENCE is virtue where fat loss is concerned.
