Most people underestimate what they’re eating by 25 to 40 percent. You think you’re hitting your protein goal, but you’re actually 30 grams short because you’re eyeballing it.
Start by measuring your protein at each meal. Use a food scale, log it for a week or two. This shows you where you’re really at and trains your eye so you don’t have to track forever.
Then optimize. Once you see the gaps, you adjust. Combine protein sources if needed or tighten up your portions.
And track what actually matters. Not just the scale. Look at strength, body composition, energy, and performance.
The discipline is in the measurement. Once you know what real looks like, you own it.
