340. The Missing Piece: You Don't Need Eat Like A Body Builder To Lose Fat (Here's Your Mistake)

Today I'm bringing you episode 2 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, and we're talking about one of the biggest "missing pieces" my clients are secretly struggling with that holds them back from fat loss which is related to their protein intake.

When it comes to protein, there's usually no in between. You either think you have to eat like a body builder because of social media content you see online, or you barely eat sufficient protein at meals and you're drastically underconsuming this important nutrient for fat loss.

Either way, protein is important and the goal is not to eat too much or too little – but instead the right amount.

I'm breaking down why not eating enough protein can hold you back, why knowing protein is important isn't enough and how understanding your unique requirements is the first step towards successful fat loss and what actually happens to your body (and appetite) when you miss that 20–30g sweet spot at each meal.

Plus, I'll share my go-to strategies for building satisfying, high protein meals without living on protein shakes and cottage cheese, or thinking you need to be a bodybuilder.
