Does Collagen Count as Protein? (And What It’s Actually Good For) (Fuel-Up Friday)

Today we’re answering a question I get all the time:

“Can I count collagen toward my daily protein?”

Because if you’ve ever tried to hit something like 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight, you know this:

• It feels hard at first
• It’s unfamiliar
• And people look for shortcuts

So collagen comes up a lot.

It’s marketed as protein.
It’s easy to drink.
It feels “healthy.”

But here’s the honest answer:

Collagen is not a muscle-building protein.
But it is a useful tool—when used correctly.

Today we’re doing a full collagen masterclass:

• What collagen is (and isn’t)
• Whether it counts toward protein goals
• What it’s actually good for
• How to use it properly
• Common mistakes and misuse

And how to combine it with a smart protein strategy

Let’s break it down.
