I Tried Eating 130 g of Protein for 30 Days: Here’s What Happened to My Food Noise

from Set Point Science · host Cheri Alberts

I tried eating 130 grams of protein per day for 30 days. Not as a diet, not as a macro obsession, and not because I thought protein was magic. I did it because after years of trying to quiet my food noise with more discipline, more volume, more “clean eating,” and more rules, I wanted to know what would happen if I actually changed the structure of my day and made protein the anchor. In this episode, I’m talking about why I chose 130 grams and what surprised me most about the experiment: not muscle soreness, not workouts, not even fullness, but how much quieter my brain felt around food. In this episode: - Why I chose 130 grams of protein per day - Why “eat more protein” was too vague for me - How my years in low-protein, high-volume eating shaped my hunger signals - What happened to my food noise when protein became the anchor - Why fullness and satisfaction are not always the same thing - How this experiment changed the way I think about cravings, discipline, and “enough” If food noise has made you feel broken, out of control, or like you just need more discipline, I hope this episode gives you a different way to think about it. You’re not broken.
