Protein First Challenge

Day 1 – Why Protein? Plan Your Protein Today

Welcome to Day 1 of the Protein First Challenge! 🎉

Today, we’re starting with one powerful mindset shift: Think protein first—before every meal or snack.

🧠 Why is protein so important?

• Keeps you full longer, reducing cravings and snacking

• Helps build and maintain lean muscle

• Supports fat loss and blood sugar balance

• Boosts energy and improves recovery

✅ Your mission today:

1. Look at your meals for the day.
   Ask: Where’s my protein?

2. Plan each meal around it.
   Start with your protein source—then add veggies, healthy carbs, and fats.

3. Examples:

   • Breakfast: Scrambled eggs + avocado toast

   • Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with feta

   • Snack: Greek yogurt + almonds

   • Dinner: Salmon with roasted veggies and rice

📓 Optional Journal Prompt:

What’s your current relationship with protein? Do you feel like you get enough, or is this a new habit for you?

You’ve taken the first step. Let’s build strong habits—one meal at a time.
