At least 98% of the women I work with undereat their protein goals before we start working together. 🍗 A diet that lacks protein isn’t as healthy. Once you understand how much protein you need to eat every day and why it’s important, the rest of your diet will become more sustainable and enjoyable. 🍗 Today on #Training&WellnessThursday, we’re going to talk about protein and why it’s important to get enough every day. Eating enough protein will change your entire health and wellness journey in just a few bites. 🍗 To listen to today’s episode, you can search The Sheila Strong Show and subscribe for free or go directly to sheilastrong.ca/podcasts.
