Tonight’s dinner: - lots of veggies - Eggs - Parmesan (higher protein, lower fat cheese choice)

If you’re training hard but still holding belly fat, feeling inflamed, or watching recovery slow down… it might not be your workouts. It might be what your “protein” is coming from. Here are 7 protein sources I stay away from when building muscle: • Highly processed deli meats • Cheap grain-fed fast food beef • Breaded and fried chicken or fish • Sugar-loaded protein bars • Mass gainer shakes • Farmed tilapia • Ultra-processed soy fake meats Why this matters: Muscle is built in a low-inflammation, stable-glucose environment. When protein sources spike insulin, increase inflammation, or stress digestion, they work against recovery, testosterone signaling, and lean muscle. The goal isn’t just protein intake.It’s metabolic alignment. Inside the system we follow: Greens first → protein and fats second → starches last. This sequencing stabilizes blood sugar and improves nutrient uptake so your body actually responds to the work you’re putting in.

This is my first day where there isn’t a single red category. Haha I follow my meal plan, but this tracker always is like “nope, too many carbs bro.” Or “more protein!!”
