Protein: Your Secret Weapon for Fat Loss, Muscle Tone & Metabolic Health

Did you know that protein makes up 15–20% of your body weight?
It plays a critical role in cell repair, muscle growth, and maintaining lean body mass — especially during fat loss.

But here’s what most people overlook:
👉 Protein is the single most important nutrient for fat loss and a more defined, sculpted body.

A high-protein diet:

  • 🔥 Boosts metabolism

  • 🧠 Reduces hunger

  • ⚖️ Regulates key weight-loss hormones

So… how much protein should you be eating daily?

At DVP Fitness, we keep it simple and realistic — so you can stick to a high-protein diet all year round, no matter what phase you’re in.

✔️ Minimum: 110g per day
✔️ Maintenance range: 120–150g per day (going significantly over this may cause digestive issues like constipation)

Here’s how a high-protein day might look:

🥣 Breakfast: 25–30g
🥗 Lunch: 30–40g
🍽️ Dinner: 30–40g
🍫 Snacks: 20g

Consistent, balanced — and totally achievable.
