About this episode

Welcome to Day 15/90 of the RAC Summer Recomp Series! This week is all about protein - the most important macronutrient for women over 35 who want to lose fat, build muscle, (tone) improve metabolism, and achieve body recomposition.

If you've ever wondered how much protein women over 35 need, whether 100 grams of protein is enough, if 1 gram of protein per pound is too much, or whether you can eat too much protein, this episode answers it all.

Learn why protein is essential for body recomposition, fat loss, building muscle, preserving lean mass during a calorie deficit, supporting metabolism after 35, and why the current RDA isn't designed for active women.


Today's 3 Recomp Targets:

  1. Calculate your daily protein goal.
  2. Eat at least 20g of protein at breakfast every day this week.
  3. Track your total protein intake tomorrow.
