We’ve talked about why protein is crucial for balancing your hormones and keeping your energy steady. But let’s be honest, knowing why protein is important is one thing, and figuring out how to get enough is a whole other challenge.
Let’s simplify it!
For happy hormones and balanced blood sugar, aim for 30 grams of protein per meal. Don’t worry—this isn’t about perfection or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about equipping you with knowledge so you can find what works for your unique body.
Here’s what 30 grams of protein can look like:
- 4 oz (or ~1/2 cup) of chicken, fish, or beef
- 4 large eggs
- 1.25 cups of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 1 cup of tofu
- 2 cups of beans or lentils
Notice how some protein sources are more concentrated than others? That’s why your choices can make hitting the target easier (or trickier).
So, let me ask you: Are you getting enough protein each day?
