Eat protein with every meal Choose chicken eggs fish beef or tofu protein repairs torn muscle fibers
Protein is usually the most expensive part of your grocery bill Buy in bulk or use eggs and canned tuna to save money
Too much protein too fast can upset your stomach Increase your intake slowly and drink plenty of water to digest it easily
Do not rely only on protein powders and bars Real whole foods pack more nutrients and keep you full much longer
Your body cannot absorb 100 grams of protein in one sitting Space it out across 3 to 4 meals for best results
You still need protein on your rest days Your muscles are actively recovering and growing on the days you skip the gym
Powder is a supplement not a replacement Use it only when you are busy and cannot cook a real meal
If your gym strength is stalling look at your protein intake Under-eating blocks your ability to lift heavier weights next week
