And don’t worry—it’s not just about protein powders. We break down some go-to whole food options too.


Why Does 30 Grams of Protein Matter?

Because protein is the most critical macronutrient for:

  • Building and maintaining lean muscle
  • Supporting fat loss
  • Controlling cravings
  • Enhancing recovery
  • Fueling daily energy and strength

Most people need around 1 gram of protein per pound of goal bodyweight each day. For many, that means 120–200 grams daily—yet the majority of people are seriously under-eating protein.

Are they protein-starved? Are they “under-proteined”? Is that even a word? Well… it is now. 😄


Why Seeing It Helps

Even with healthy meals, hitting your protein goal consistently can be harder than it looks—especially if you’re just guessing or underestimating portion sizes.

That’s why it’s so helpful to actually see what 30 grams of protein looks like on a plate (or in a shaker). When you know what to look for, you can build each meal with more intention—and start fueling your body for real results.
