In this episode, Annie and Jen unpack the current \u201cprotein maxing\u201d trend and explain what the research actually says about how much protein women need. They break down why so many women feel stressed, overwhelmed, or \u201cbehind\u201d on protein, how protein marketing can create confusion, and why eating more protein isn\u2019t always the answer. You\u2019ll hear what realistic protein intake actually looks like for women in different body sizes, how to tell whether a food is truly high protein, and why resistance training matters far more than obsessing over every gram. If you\u2019ve been feeling protein-ed out, confused by conflicting recommendations, or worried you\u2019re not doing enough, this conversation will help you simplify your approach and focus on what actually matters.
