“Good job Alicia on taking the first step towards your healthy nutrition routine this week. Your breakfast this morning Its a great start to your journey. Proteins are essential in every meal as they help keep you full until your next meal. If youre unsure about the protein content in your meals try incorporating lean proteins such as eggs turkey or cottage cheese into your breakfast. As a general guideline aiming for around 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight is a good starting point. However its important to note that we wont focus on counting the exact amount just yet. Right now the goal is to establish a habit of having nutritious breakfasts that include a good source of protein. As you progress with the program and feel more comfortable with your new eating habits we can revisit the idea of tracking specific macro amounts. For now enjoy your journey into healthier breakfast choices and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance!”
