DAY 2 Challenge:
🔥 Hit Your Protein Goal
A simple way to know how much protein you need each day:
👉 Aim for 0.8–1 gram of protein per pound of your bodyweight (or your goal bodyweight).
Examples:
- Goal weight 150 lbs → 120–150g protein/day
- Goal weight 170 lbs → 135–170g protein/day
Protein keeps you full, supports muscle, boosts metabolism, and helps you recover from workouts, especially strength training.
