How much protein is too much?

February 23, 20241 min read

I know, you might be sick of the narrative around protein

But it's essential and something most of you aren't eating enough of but when it comes to protein, there is such a thing as TOO MUCH

In case you missed it, the absolute BABE that is Michelle Carroll and I did a wicked collab post on protein which was in response to many a question in the last week or so about protein targets

Give the post a lil tappy tap for engagement here:

How much protein is too much?

All too frequently I speak to people who have had protein targets set for them that are SO high, they'll need a second mortgage to pay for all the chicken

And whilst too much protein isn't a problem

It does leave you rather short on calories for carbs, fats, fruit + veg and equally importantly.. your soul food (mine at the moment is a combination of white malteaser bunnies + white creme eggs, with a smattering of a lindor egg + a hot cross bun for good measure)

Look, I'm a health and fitness professional

I LOVE talking about protein

But if you're dieting, honestly most of you won't need a target above 150g and more and more often, I've got women around the 100-130g mark

Which if you're smart, is easyish to hit AND doesn't get in the way of your other macros

January is prime scare-mongering month so if you're stuck on the macros, or even want to chat about your specific targets please do hit reply

I'll help you out with all you need to know

K?

I got you
