Prioritize protein. Optimize your life. Or keep running on artificial dopamine & zyns—your call. Huge shoutout to @heroicbrian & heroic.us for drilling this into my brain. None of this is original, just me passing along gold so more people can thrive.

Action for today: Write down your protein goals (writing goals increases chance of achieving 9x). Whether they are .7g or 1g = lb/bodyweight...write 'em down, track it, score it each day. For me, I have to have 3 protein scoops/day to achieve 180. I use @promix...no fake 💩

So yeah—protein isn’t just for getting jacked, it’s also for not getting wrecked by the common cold, better sleep, better brain health, and better energy. Kinda important lol

Make it easy: ✅ Start meals with protein. ✅ Eggs, steak, fish, chicken—whatever’s real, not lab-grown nonsense. ✅ Chase it with carbs & fats, not the other way around.

So how much should you eat? Aim for 0.7–1g per pound of body weight. More if you train hard, less if you’re chilling.

4. The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance)..like the FDA...is trash. Their reco of 0.36g per pound is the bare minimum to not die. You trying to thrive or just exist?

3. Supports immune function. Your body builds immune cells from protein. Don’t want to be the guy who gets sick every time the seasons change? Eat your damn protein my boy.

2. Boosts metabolism. It burns more calories to digest, keeps you full, and stops you from inhaling slices of sad office pizza at lunch.

1. Muscle = Longevity Dr. Gabrielle Lyon calls muscle “the organ of longevity.” More muscle = more strength, better metabolism, better vitality and energy.

Here’s why top experts (and anyone who’s ever felt ripped and dialed in) say you need closer to 1g of protein per pound of body weight 🥩👇

Most dudes are out here eating like a toddler at snack time, wondering why they feel soft, tired, and reminiscing about the glory days

Under-eating protein? You’re making life harder than it needs to be tbh 👇

🔥 How to hit your target? Start every meal with protein. Eggs 🍳 Fish 🐟 Chicken 🍗 Red meat 🥩 Dr. Lyon calls this “protein-forward eating.”

💡 How much should you eat? Dr. Lyon, Dr. Attia & Dr. Ede all agree: 0.7–1g per pound of body weight is the real sweet spot. The RDA is just to prevent deficiency—not to optimize health.

4. Supports immune function. Protein helps build the enzymes, hormones & immune cells that keep you healthy & resilient. If you’re not eating enough protein, your recovery & resilience take a hit.

3. Regulates hunger & cravings. Protein keeps you full longer. Less snacking. Fewer cravings. Less processed poison in your gut. Gut health = brain health.

2. Boosts metabolism It has the highest thermic effect of all macros, meaning you burn more calories just digesting it. Translation: You can eat more & still stay lean. Science is wild.
