Episode notes
Front Load Protein To Quiet Food Noise
- Prioritize protein early in the day to reduce constant hunger and food preoccupation.
- Rachael recommends breakfast options like chicken sausage with fried eggs or a protein smoothie for quick 15-minute setups.
Make Protein The Backbone And Cut Added Sugar
- Build every plate starting with a protein source and limit added sugars to improve satiety and taste sensitivity.
- Rachael cites average U.S. added sugar intake (17 tsp/day) versus AHA recommendations (6 tsp women, 9 tsp men).
Distribute Protein To Stimulate Muscle Synthesis
- Evenly distributing protein across meals maximally stimulates muscle protein synthesis at each meal.
- Aim for roughly 25 to 40 grams of protein per main meal and use 100 grams per day as a practical benchmark for many adults.
