this is how an obesity board and menopause practitioner certified physician actually stocks her pantry.
muscle is a longevity organ, and most women under-eat protein. the target is 1.2–1.6 g/kg a day, which works out to about 25–30 g per meal. here's how I fill the gaps:
🐟 LINYUEYANG ahi yellowfin: 43 g per can (1 can a week, it's still tuna)
🥤 mindbodygreen grass-fed whey isolate: 25 g + 2.5 g leucine
🥣 cottage cheese: 14 g, my dessert with berries
🧀 Organic Valley Stringles: 7 g, the purse snack
🥛 Organic Valley Protein Plus milk: 50% more protein, 50% less sugar
💪 creatine chews: not protein, but my muscle and brain sidekick (3–5 a day)
💙 BodyHealth Perfect Amino: the backup plan, not the plan
food first. lift heavy. track muscle, not just weight.
heal deeper. rise higher.
