Hey team,

We’re heading into a huge month — and before we talk bookings, let’s chat about something that can completely change your progress: PROTEIN.


Why Protein Matters


Whether your goal is to build lean muscle, lose body fat, or simply feel stronger and more energized, protein is the foundation of your success.

Here’s why it’s so important:

Boosts metabolism – Your body burns more calories digesting protein than carbs or fat.Builds & repairs muscle – After every workout, protein helps your muscles recover and grow stronger.Keeps you full – It helps control cravings and keeps you satisfied for longer.


How Much Protein Do You Need?


Everyone’s needs are a little different, but here are some simple guidelines to help you get it right:

Goal

Daily Protein Target

Example (70 kg person)

Build muscle / get stronger

1.6–2.2 g per kg of bodyweight

110–150 g per day

Fat loss / body recomposition

1.8–2.4 g per kg of bodyweight

125–170 g per day

General health & maintenance

1.2–1.6 g per kg of bodyweight

85–110 g per day


 

Try to spread your protein evenly across meals — for example, 25–40 g per meal.

Meal ideas:

  • 🥚 Breakfast: Eggs + Greek yogurt

  • 🍗 Lunch: Chicken, tuna, or tofu

  • 🍛 Dinner: Fish, lean beef, or lentils

  • 💥 Snack: Protein shake or bar (if needed)


Remember: Consistency beats perfection — even small improvements each day add up!


Best


Nick and the team
