If you’re trying to lose weight and get that “toned” look, protein isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. It helps preserve lean muscle while you lose fat, keeps you fuller for longer, and even slightly boosts how many calories your body burns.
So… how much protein per day?
Aim for 85–110g of protein per day
This range supports fat loss without losing muscle (which is what gives that firm, toned look).
What does that actually look like in a day?
Here’s a simple, realistic day of eating hitting ~90–100g protein:
Breakfast
Greek yogurt (200g) + berries + a sprinkle of nuts
20g protein
Lunch
Grilled chicken salad (100g chicken) + mixed veg + olive oil
30g protein
Snack
Boiled egg + apple
15–20g protein
Dinner
Salmon fillet (120g) or tofu + quinoa + roasted veg
25–30g protein
Optional snack
Cottage cheese with berries
10–15g protein
Easy ways to boost protein (without overthinking it)
Swap regular yogurt → Greek yogurt
Choose eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, lentils as meal anchors
Snack smarter: think nuts, cottage cheese, boiled eggs
