The truth about protein & 10 high protein recipes
Let’s cut through the noise about protein real quick.
Protein is the foundation it builds and sustains lean tissue, it’s key for organ repair, and it literally keeps your body running the way it should. Yet somehow there’s still this myth floating around that your body can “only absorb 30 grams of protein at one time” and anything more than that is just wasted. That’s false. Your body doesn’t just tap out and throw away protein, it processes it over time.
Here’s my philosophy: you don’t need to overcomplicate it. If you’re eating between .7 grams and 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day, you’re in a great spot. That’s enough to cover recovery, muscle growth, and daily function.
Let’s break it down with examples:
- A 135lb woman would be good anywhere from 95–135 grams of protein per day.
- A 185lb man would be good anywhere from 130–185 grams per day.
You don’t need to eat 250+ grams unless you’re stepping on a bodybuilding stage. For most people, the sweet spot is right in that .7–1g/lb range. Consistency beats excess.
Now, I know the next question is always: “Okay, so how do I hit those numbers without blowing through all my calories?” Let’s talk about that.
Attached you will find 10 different meals you could go to this week that will give you a minimum of 40 grams of protein and under 400 calories per meal.
