Why Protein Is Essential for Your Body And How to Get More of It (Without the Chalky Shakes)

We’ve all heard that protein is important. But what exactly does it do for your body, and how much do you really need?

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a busy professional, or just someone trying to feel better day-to-day, here’s why protein matters… and how you can hit your goals without boring meals or bland supplements.


🧬 What Does Protein Actually Do?

Protein is one of the most important building blocks in your body. It’s involved in:

  • 💪 Muscle growth & repair
  • ⚡️ Energy production
  • 🧠 Brain function & focus
  • 🛡 Immune system support
  • 😌 Satiety (feeling full longer)

Without enough protein, your body can’t function at its best, plain and simple.


🔢 How Much Protein Do You Need?

It depends on your activity level, age, and health goals, but here’s a simple guideline :

Lifestyle Recommended Protein Intake
Sedentary 0.8g per kg of body weight
Active / Fit 1.2 – 2g per kg
Athletes / Intense training 1.6 – 2.2g per kg

For someone around 70kg who works out regularly, that’s roughly 100–140g of protein per day.


😅 The Real Struggle: Hitting Protein Goals Daily

Let’s be honest: hitting that number every day isn’t easy, especially if you’re on the move, vegan, or just not a fan of meat-heavy meals.

That’s where smart snacking comes in.
