If you want to be "toned," stay strong, and not feel sore and tired after your workouts, you need to make protein the central part of every meal.

That's right - every meal.

Research shows that 30 grams of protein is the minimum target amount of protein you should aim for at each meal.

Why 30 grams?

The 30 gram mark maximally stimulates protein synthesis, the process by which you build and re-build muscle.

Hitting this 30 gram mark is especially important if your goal is to lose fat versus just "losing weight." Without adequate protein intake (and effective strength training), you're likely to lose just as much muscle as fat.

Not good.

And you get older, it is even more important to hit this 30 gram mark because your ability to build and repair muscle naturally decreases.

Remember, it's muscle that keeps you toned and strong. Muscle is good for you!

At lunch and dinner, 30 grams probably isn’t a hard target for you, but sometimes breakfast can be a little more challenging.

Eggs and dairy products are usually the ‘go-to’ protein-containing items we consume at breakfast, but that doesn’t mean that other foods can’t contribute to the meal in order to reach 30 grams.

One our personal training clients at our gym in Timonium just asked me a question I get virtually every day from women over 45: “How do I lose this [grabs body part]?” I told her my signature sound bite bite: “You have no more control over where you lose fat than you did over where you gained it.” I’ve heard a couple of respectable trainers say they have $ystems (clever, huh) that will burn body fat in specific parts of your body. It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
