'Eating more protein isn't enough': Fat loss coach spills the tea about weight loss diet

Instead of increasing protein intake, be mindful of where you are getting your protein from. Fat loss coach suggested al, whole protein for muscle mass.

With innumerable weight loss trends floating on the Internet, it gets difficult to understand what to follow, and what to ditch. But there’s on advice that is recommended by health experts and weight loss coaches that in order to initiate fat loss and improve muscle mass, we need to improve our protein intake. But it is enough?

Mahtab Ekay, a fat loss coach, who went through a weight transformation and dropped 9 kilos in 3 months, wrote in a post shard on April 6, “You have been told to “increase your protein” for fat loss, so you’ve started eating more eggs, adding beans, grabbing protein bars, and snacking on nuts. You’re also hitting the gym, eating clean, but your body still isn’t looking as toned as you expected. And you are still feeling hungry and dealing with cravings. The thing is eating more protein isn’t enough.”

Consume adequate protein to stay satiated: Get 25-30g of protein per meal (0.8-1g per pound of your ideal body weight for the total day)—this keeps you full and fuels muscle.

Prioritise lean protein: Chicken breast, turkey, tuna, egg whites, and Greek yogurt give you more protein per calorie than eggs, fattier meats, or fish (which are still great but shouldn’t be your only focus).

Build a balanced plate: At least ¼ of your plate should be protein to keep you satisfied and prevent cravings.
