3 signs you need more protein (especially women)

If you answer YES to any of the following, it’s a sign you might not be getting enough protein:

You can’t lose weight even though you’ve quit processed foods and seed oils…

You can’t build muscle even though you’re training and eating more food…

You’re often hungry despite eating regularly…

You feel tired and sluggish, even after a full night's sleep…

These are all signs you might not be getting enough protein.

Because protein isn’t just for muscle—it’s the building block of your entire body.

From your hair, skin, and nails to your hormones, immune system, and even brain function, every cell relies on protein to thrive.

And research consistently shows:

0.8 - 1.0 grams of protein per lb of ideal body weight per day is the right amount to support optimal health.

So for a 180 lb man you’re looking at 144 - 180 g per day

And for most ladies, you might need 100-150 g per day.

To put that in perspective, 1.5 lbs of ground beef, 3-4 eggs, and a cup of raw milk will get you to 150 g per day.

But for many people it can be a struggle to consistently eat this much protein every day - even if you love your beef and eggs as much as we do!

In order to get to that level of protein consumption, we may have to resort to protein shakes. Equip is our favorite brand :)
