YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW UNTIL YOU KNOW
THE 7-DAY PROTEIN CHALLENGE
There are a lot of fancy schmancy nutrition and fitness trackers out there and you should definitely check them out, especially if you are looking to achieve specific goals.
If you’re just starting out and want to get a baseline idea of how much protein you consume per day, then our super simple 7-Day Protein Tracker will do the trick. No need to make goals or dietary adjustments just yet. For 7 days, eat like you normally do while tracking the total grams of protein in everything you consume.
With this information, you can use the protein guidelines and calculators to determine if you are in the correct range for your given inputs and if desired, build goals from there. You might be surprised by how much a little more protein in your diet can affect how you feel.
