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)
âś… Aim for 1g protein per lb of bodyweight daily
Muscle is metabolism.
Protect it at all costs.
