How to Actually Eat Enough Protein

Getting enough protein can feel surprisingly hard, especially when you are a new mom trying to feed yourself, care for a baby, return to running, and rebuild strength. In this episode, I am talking all about protein and sharing the practical strategies I have been using to meet my own protein needs while getting back into running and weight training postpartum. You will learn why protein matters for runners, how it supports recovery and muscle repair, and simple ways to add more protein throughout the day without turning every meal into a complicated math problem. Whether you are postpartum, increasing your training, or simply struggling to hit a higher protein goal, this episode will help you make protein feel more realistic, flexible, and doable.   This episode originally aired October 28, 2024.  Click here to try Legion Protein Powder for yourself use my code RUNNERGIRL for buy one get one 50% off and free shipping on your first order!
