Protein doesn’t need to be confusing.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

1️⃣ Why It Matters
Protein is the key to muscle growth and repair. After a workout, your muscles need protein to rebuild and strengthen. Without enough, progress stalls. Protein helps your body function properly, supports muscle recovery, and keeps everything running smoothly. Without it, you’re limiting your gains.

2️⃣ How Much You Need
Aim for 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of body weight daily. For example, if you weigh 70kg, you should target 112–154g of protein per day. This helps ensure you’re getting enough to support muscle repair and growth, and avoid muscle breakdown.

3️⃣ Best Sources
Protein isn’t just chicken and shakes. Incorporate variety with eggs, fish, tofu, beans, yogurt, and jerky. Find what you enjoy, and stick with it! A mix of plant and animal-based sources will give you all the essential amino acids.

4️⃣ Timing Myths
The post-workout "anabolic window" isn’t as critical as once believed. Instead, focus on spreading protein over 3-4 meals throughout the day. Eating within 5 hours of your pre-workout meal is enough to avoid muscle breakdown. The key is hitting your total protein target, not stressing about timing.

5️⃣ Consistency Beats Perfection
Building the habit of getting your protein every day is what matters most. Stay consistent, and trust the process—progress will follow!
