1/ Right so... you're not getting enough protein and you know it. You're just hoping it doesn't matter. It does. Stop hoping.
2/ You think you need some magic number. You don't. Just eat meat, fish, eggs, or dairy at every meal. That's it. Not complicated.
3/ The problem isn't knowing this. It's that protein is boring and you'd rather have toast. Fair enough. But then don't wonder why you're tired and soft.
4/ Here's the thing — more protein means you actually feel full. Means you stop snacking at 9pm. Means your body has material to stay strong. But sure, have another protein shake instead.
5/ You've got 20 years left where this actually works. Then it gets harder. So either start now or don't. Just pick one and stop the middle ground bullshit.
What's actually stopping you — the taste, the cost, or just can't be bothered?
