Today we are going to talk about protein!   Here are some of the reasons why having good quality protein is important in your diet. Increased muscle mass and strength. Reduces appetite and hunger levels. Helps maintain weight loss. Helps the body repair after injury. Reduces cravings and desire for late night snacking. It's recommended to have one palm per meal for females and two palms for males. This is assuming you are having three meals a day.   If you want to know what that is if weighing protein. It’s recommended to have 1.4 to 2.0 g/kg (around 0.64-0.9 g/lb) of protein per day.   So for a 80kg man, if he aims to have 1.5 x 80g or protein/day. It would be 120g of protein per day.  To give you context. 500 grams of beef mince is about 100 grams of protein.    It might be challenging to eat this much protein in the beginning so you need to just focus on eating more.   Also, protein powder, protein yogurt are great ways to up your protein each day.    Also having protein at breakfast in the form of eggs, meat or protein powder is a great way to increase your protein levels daily.  To learn more about my coaching programs you can check out - https://www.conorosheafitness.com/online-coaching.html To join my free community and get access to free mobility and bodyweight workouts you can join here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mobilitymasteryAU
