Protein: Hit Your Number, Stop Stressing About Macros

Lesson 3 of 8 in this module 1 min read 20 of 38 overall

You can ignore every other nutrition rule. Just hit your protein number. That alone will move you further than any meal plan.

Why protein matters most for HIIT + strength: it's what your body uses to recover and rebuild between sessions. Skip it, stay sore, don't progress.

How to calculate your target: 0.7–1.0 g per pound of bodyweight (the simple version).

5 high-protein anchors you don't have to think about:

Chicken
Eggs
Greek yogurt
Lean beef
Protein powder

The rule: protein at every meal.
