If you’re struggling to meet your daily protein goals, you’re not alone! In this article, I’ll share what 120 grams of protein looks like.
What makes it so hard to get enough protein?
▶️Most of the time, you will need to prepare or cook your protein sources, so some planning is required.
▶️ Foods with carbs and fat are easy to find…and they’re tastier too, so we tend to crave them more than protein.
▶️In the US, we are not used to eating that much protein. Most people can’t meet their daily protein needs!
Knowing these few things, it’s understandable why this macro is the hardest to “hit” every day. But as long as there is a heart, there is a way!
This is how my protein consumption went down the other day…

Tips for Reaching Your Protein Goals
👉🏻Tip: Instead of setting a protein goal for myself every day, I set a target range: 100-120 grams.
If I don’t hit 125 grams a day, but I hit 100, I still feel successful in my efforts! 💪🏻
