Ep 6:Protein and Summer Training Strategy

With Memorial Day and busy end-of-school schedules approaching, this episode reviews why protein matters—supporting muscle, fullness, blood sugar stability, recovery, and healthy aging—and how to make it feel less restrictive by building breakfast, lunch, and dinner “anchor meals” around solid protein sources (animal or plant), using a palm-size portion as a simple guide. It offers practical examples (eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, shakes; chicken, tuna, turkey, tofu, salmon, beans/legumes) and encourages starting small by adding protein to one meal on an easier day. The script also explains how to adapt training through holidays and vacations using a three-question framework (what’s available, minimum effective dose, decide before leaving) to avoid all-or-nothing thinking, stay connected to the habit, and plan modifications with coach support, including permission to rest without guilt. The coach notes they’ll be off client-facing duties the week after Memorial Day while still available for messages and plan adjustments.
