The 5 days

5 days from guessing to knowing your protein

The order I use with women over 40: find the number, fix breakfast first, spread it across your meals, make it easy with swaps, then tie it to menopause and your muscle.

01

Your protein target

Find your daily number with my free protein calculator, and why the old 0.8 g per kg minimum is not enough after 40.

◷ 5 min
02

A protein breakfast

Why toast and coffee leave you hungry by 10 a.m., and five easy breakfasts with about 25 grams of protein.

◷ 10 min
03

Protein per meal

About 25 to 30 grams a meal, the palm trick to eyeball it without an app, and why one big protein dinner is not enough.

◷ 5 min
04

Easy foods and swaps

Six small swaps for meals you already eat, protein beyond chicken, and a simple shake with no powder needed.

◷ 10 min
05

Protein in menopause + muscle

Why your needs climb as estrogen drops, how protein and a little strength work together, and how to plan one full day.

◷ 10 min
By day 5 you have
  • Your own daily protein target
  • A go-to breakfast that keeps you full
  • An easy way to eyeball protein at every meal
