Protein Timing

Protein is essential for maintaining and building muscle, especially when you're trying to lose body fat. Rather than eating most of your protein in one meal, aim to spread it evenly throughout the day by including a good source with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and, if needed, a healthy snack. This approach helps support muscle recovery, keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and makes it easier to reach your daily protein target.
