I’ve been working out doing HIIT and weightlifting via Orange Theory and Peloton for two years - typically 5-6 times per week for 1 hr a day.
I’ve lost 20 lbs this way (160 to 140). And swapped a bunch of fat for muscle (my body fat % scale broke 4 months ago sadly so I don’t know the latest).
I’m an idiot though and never realized how important protein was to build muscle.
I get minimal protein. Probably 50 g a day. My normal “healthy” meals are tons of veg or fruit with a small serving of cheese/meat. Not nearly enough protein I think.
If I start eating the recommended amount of protein what type of results might I expect in terms of building muscle? How much of a difference can it make? Anyone have pics or personal stories??
Thank you!!
