If you think your protein is bad… mine was worse. Way worse.
The recommended protein intake isn’t designed to build muscle…
It’s designed to stop you losing what you’ve already got.
And that’s where most people get stuck.
Because most busy mums aren’t walking around with loads of muscle to begin with.
So if you’re only hitting the “recommended amount”…
you’re just maintaining a low baseline.
➡️ Low muscle
➡️ Slower metabolism
➡️ Softer look
➡️ Lower energy
Not because you’re doing anything “wrong”…
but because you’re under-fuelled for the result you actually want.
Muscle isn’t just about looking toned.
It’s metabolically active tissue.
It helps you:
✔️ Burn more energy at rest
✔️ Regulate blood sugar
✔️ Support hormones
✔️ Stay strong as you age
Think of it as your body’s long-term insurance policy.
So what should you focus on instead?
Not perfection. Not cutting everything out.
Just start here:
👉 Protein at every meal
👉 Aim for ~25–35g per meal
👉 3–4 meals per day
👉 Pair it with 2–3 strength sessions per week
That alone will put you ahead of most people.
If you’ve never actually checked your protein intake before…
Start there.
No guessing. No “I think I eat pretty well.”
Just awareness first — that’s where everything changes.
