Protein basics: finding your daily balance

Protein supports muscle maintenance and everyday energy. The key is spreading it across meals and snacks.

Spread protein across the day

Instead of one large hit, aim for smaller servings with each meal and snack so your body can use it steadily.

Mix protein sources

Animal and plant proteins can both be part of a balanced plan. Variety keeps meals interesting and nutrients broad.

Pair protein with fiber

Protein and fiber together help you feel satisfied and keep your meals balanced.

Make breakfast count

Start your day with protein and fiber to stay steady through the morning. This makes later choices easier.

Add protein to familiar meals

Add a scoop, a serving, or a side to what you already eat. Small upgrades are easier to sustain.

Plant or dairy both work

Plant-based and dairy-based options can both fit. Choose what suits your taste and routine.

Coach note

Protein is a tool, not a rule. Consistency matters more than chasing perfect numbers.
