How Much Protein Do You Actually Need? Let’s Break It Down.

I used to think I was getting enough protein…
But once I actually learned what my body needed? Total game changer.

Here’s the thing — if you’re working out, chasing kids, or even just staying active in everyday life, you probably need more protein than you think.

Most women need somewhere between 0.6 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight, depending on how active they are.

That might sound like a lot at first, but once you start paying attention to your meals, it actually becomes pretty doable — and the benefits are so worth it.

Here’s what I’ve noticed since making protein a priority:

• Cravings went down (like… way down)

• My energy felt more steady

• Workouts and recovery? Way smoother

It’s not about counting every gram or being perfect.
It’s just about getting more aware of what your body actually needs to feel good.

Start small — check in with your meals.
Are you getting protein at breakfast? Are your snacks doing anything for you?
Little shifts can make a big difference.

If you’ve been feeling low energy, snacky all the time, or slow to recover — this might be your next best step.
Not a diet. Not a trend. Just better support for the body you’re already working hard to care for.
