“Eat more protein” is everywhere.But how much is actually right for you? The answer isn’t a random number like 100 grams. It's based on your bodyweight and goals. For women lifting and building muscle, a solid target is around:👉 1.6g of protein per kg of bodyweight That’s where things start to click—better recovery, more strength, real progress.

This is one of the biggest fears women have when starting strength training. The reality is that building significant muscle takes: • years of training • progressive overload • enough calories • consistent programming Most women who lift weights simply become stronger, more toned, and more confident. Strength training shapes your body — it doesn’t suddenly transform you overnight.

I wish you a good Sunday! 💚🤟😊🤗

You’ve probably heard the “100 grams of protein a day” rule floating around in fitness spaces. The truth is… it depends. Protein needs are better calculated based on bodyweight. For women training for strength, research generally lands around ~1.6 g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day, within a broader range of 1.4–2.0 g/kg/day depending on training and goals. That means for some women, 100g is perfect.For others, it may actually be too low to support muscle growth and recovery. I wrote a blog breaking this down with simple examples so you can see where you might land.
