If you want to build more muscle and lose more fat, do this simple thing.

If you want to build more muscle and lose more fat, the simplest thing you can do with your diet that will help you achieve this is to eat more protein.

Protein is the building block of muscle. You need it to I’m build muscle. Without it, it’s like trying to build a house with no materials. Ain’t gonna happen.

Protein is also very satiating, which makes it great for fat loss. A high protein diet fills you up so you feel less hungry and more satisfied.

A guideline for daily protein requirement looks like this: 0.75 to 1 gram of protein per goal bodyweight. For a goal body weight of 160, that is 120-160 grams of protein per day. Simple, but not easy. That’s 40-53 grams of protein per meal if you eat 3 meals per day.

Doable, but it takes intentional preparation.

Splitting it up into four meals or three meals plus a protein shake is a great strategy for people who struggle to eat that much in one sitting. The best way to consistently hit this is to make sure you nail breakfast. Starting off with a low protein breakfast sets you up for failure.
