KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

Craig and I noticed a lot of women who come into our program undereat protein and overeat fat. So, we wanted to take some time to record a short podcast about everything protein.

In this episode, Craig and I chat about:

➡️Why eating adequate protein is important

➡️How much protein should you have per meal

➡️How to work out how much protein you need

➡️Why protein is important in a calorie deficit

➡️How to get your protein from a variety of sources (and why!)

➡️Tips to get your protein in each day

And more!
