A lot of people jump into their fitness journey wanting to “tone up,” but what they’re really after is body recomposition, building lean muscle while losing fat.
The key to doing this successfully? A high-protein diet, not just during your recomp phase, but even after to maintain the muscle you’ve built.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is skipping meals, especially breakfast.
Breakfast sets the tone for your day. It should be:
🍳 High in protein
🥑 Include healthy fats
🍞 Have complex carbs
🥦 Packed with fiber
Personally, I like to keep my mornings super protein dense, around 80 g of protein to start the day. I train in the morning, so fueling properly makes it so much easier to hit my daily goal of 130–150 g of protein and stay consistent with my macros.
Your first meal can literally make or break your progress when it comes to body recomp. Don’t skip it, fuel it. ✨
