Learn how to choose the best protein sources to fuel your body, build lean muscle, and support long-term fat loss.
Why Protein Matters So Much
Protein does more than just help you build muscle. It’s essential for:
✅ Fat loss and body recomposition
✅ Reducing hunger and controlling cravings
✅ Supporting your metabolism
✅ Preventing muscle breakdown (especially while losing weight)
✅ Boosting recovery and energy levels
Most people, especially active adults and those over 35, under-eat protein — or rely on low-quality sources that don’t deliver results.
High-Quality Protein Sources to Focus On
Here are some of the best complete protein options to prioritize:
Animal-Based Proteins:
- Chicken breast
- Salmon
- Lean ground beef or turkey
- Eggs and egg whites
- Greek yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Whey protein (powder)
Plant-Based Proteins:
- Tofu and tempeh
- Edamame
- Lentils and chickpeas
- Quinoa
- Protein-enriched plant milks
- Pea or rice protein powder
Pro Tip: If you’re eating plant-based, pair complementary sources (like beans + rice) to make a complete protein.
How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?
A good starting point:
1.6–2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight (or ~0.7–1g per pound).
This range supports fat loss, muscle maintenance, and long-term strength.
