Focusing on Fitness Nutrition
Taking time to reflect on your fitness goals and nutrition is an important step towards long-term health and performance. Whether you are training regularly, staying active, or simply looking to feel your best day to day, nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting your body.
Optimal Fitness Nutrition
Getting fitness nutrition right means focusing on high-quality, minimally processed ingredients. Whether you are an experienced athlete or just starting your fitness journey, prioritising proper nutrition can help you perform better, recover more effectively, and feel more energised.
Achieving optimal fitness requires more than just training. It also demands the right nutrition. Good quality protein is an essential part of a balanced diet, helping to support muscle maintenance, recovery, and sustained energy levels. Adding protein powders to your routine can be a simple and effective way to support both performance and overall wellbeing.
How Much Protein Should You Eat?
Many people do not consume the amount of protein needed for optimal health and fitness. Recommended daily protein intake varies depending on factors such as age, gender, body weight, and activity level. A commonly used guideline is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For an average adult, this equates to around 46 grams per day for women and 56 grams per day for men.
Here is an example of how protein intake can be achieved through everyday foods:
- 1 chicken breast (200g): 42g protein
- 1 cup of Greek yoghurt (245g): 17g protein
- 1 serving of Pulsin unflavoured protein powder (25g): 20g protein
- 1 cup of cooked lentils (198g): 18g protein
Non-UPF and Simplicity
Not all protein powders are the same. Products made with carefully selected ingredients help ensure you are getting effective, high-quality nutrition. Keeping things simple by choosing protein powders without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavourings can make a meaningful difference to your daily diet.
