Protein isn’t just a “macro”—it’s a metabolic powerhouse.

• Your body burns energy just to break it down (you only absorb ~3 calories per gram) • There’s no storage tank for protein—only your muscles, organs, enzymes, and tissues • If you don’t eat enough, your body steals it from your muscles

This is why 46–47% of weight lost on drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy comes from muscle, not just fat.

But you can change that.

✅ Strength train 2–4x/week ✅ Eat 20–40g protein per meal (or at least once daily) ✅ Aim for 1g protein per lb of bodyweight daily

Muscle is metabolism. Protect it at all costs.
