This week we shift the focus slightly.
From moving your body, tofuelling your body to support it.
For some, this will feel simple.
For others, it may take more awareness and planning.
But that’s exactly the point.
Most people don’t under-train.
They under-fuel.
Meals are often built around:
Grabbing whatever’s quick without thought
Skipping full proper meals
Prioritising liquids .... aka your coffee breakfast
The result: protein intake is usually far lower than what your body actually needs.
A practical range for most active women:
1.5g – 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight per day
Example:
70kg → 105g+ per day
A simple way to approach it:
25–30g of protein across each meal
Not complicated, but it does require intention.
Consistent protein intake:
Supports muscle growth and repair
Improves recovery between sessions
Helps maintain strength while reducing viceral body fat
Keeps you fuller for longer
Supports overall health
Boosts metabolism
It’s one of the biggest drivers of inside and outside the gym.
It’s about understanding:
How much protein you’re actually eating now
What it takes to hit a target consistently (Challenge Target 90g daily)
How to structure your meals better
For many, this will highlight a gap.
That’s a good thing.
Awareness is where change starts.
You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight.
Instead:
Pick your three days where you'll ensure this happens
Use your team members to ideas, support & guidance
Start building meals around a protein source
Pick your three days where you'll ensure this happens
Prep ahead where possible
Keep it simple and repeatable
If in doubt:
Prioritise protein first. Build the rest around it.
