your protein guide
Protein constitutes 15-20% of body weight and is pivotal in cell repair and growth, contributing to muscle development and preventing loss. Protein is also the single most important nutrient for weight loss and more defined looking body composition. A high protein intake boosts metabolism, reduces appetite and changes several weight-regulating hormones.
So how much protein should you be consuming on a daily basis. At DVP Fitness we like to keep it simple & achievable for our clients to consume a high protein diet all year round. No matter what phase you are in you should be aiming for no less then 120g of protein per day & no more then 150-160g per day when you hit maintenance as to much protein will then lead to things like constipation.
Ideally across a day your meal plan could be easily broken up like this:
Breakfast: 25-30g protein
Lunch: 30-40g protein
Dinner: 30-40g protein
Snacks: 20g protein
Check out the below protein options you can consume on a daily basis to hit your targets.
