How did you do with your calories yesterday? Did you hit your goal? Did you feel full and satisfied at the end of the day?Today we are going to talk about protein. Getting enough protein each day helps you feel full and makes sure you lose body fat and not muscle. When protein isn't high enough you can feel hungry and tired. Getting enough protein keeps you feeling full because it takes longer to digest then other foods and it gives you energy through out the day.
An easy way to estimate your daily protein needs is to divide your current weight in half. The number you get is the amount of protein (in grams) that you should be eating daily, as a minimum, you may need more depending on how much muscle you have, if you are pregnant or breast feeding, if you are male or female, how active you are and if you are actively trying to build muscle.
Click here to go to a lean protein estimator. Input your gender, weight and height. Look for your protein factor and set that as you maximum. My protein factor is 101 and half my weight is 70, so my protein range should be 70-100. I typically aim for 120 becasue I am trying to tone and lean out and because it helps me feel full all day.
