Protein is a hot topic, and it seems like everyone has a different opinion. Should you be eating it at every meal? Is protein powder as good as chicken or beans? And what happens if you’re under your protein goal for the day—should you force down some egg whites even if you’re not hungry?
If you’ve ever had these questions, this week’s episode is for you.
Here’s a quick preview of what I cover:
- How much protein you actually need for your goals—whether it’s general health, building muscle, or weight loss.
- Protein myths debunked: "More is always better" and "Too much protein will hurt your kidneys."
- Is protein powder worth it? (Spoiler: Yes, but with caveats.)
- Balancing animal and plant-based proteins—and what that means for your health and the environment.
- Practical tips for hitting your protein targets without overcomplicating your meals.
This episode is packed with no-nonsense, science-backed advice to help you cut through the confusion and make protein work for your lifestyle.
If you're ready to simplify your nutrition and feel confident about what you’re eating, give this one a listen!
Thanks for tuning in!
