Trying to hit 30–40g of protein per meal? It starts with building a balanced plate. Here’s how: 🥩 Animal protein gives you high-quality, leucine-rich amino acids that trigger muscle protein synthesis. 🌱 Plant protein adds fiber, phytonutrients, and amino acid variety. 💡 Together, they support strength, satiety, and metabolic flexibility. And here’s the key: this isn’t a theory — it’s how most people actually eat. You don’t have to choose one over the other. It all counts. A balanced plate looks like this: ✅ 30–40g protein total ✅ 2+ servings non-starchy veggies ✅ 2–4 servings healthy fat ✅ Optional slow carbs or fruit Example: • 3 oz salmon (22g) • ½ cup lentils (9g) • 1 tbsp hemp seeds (3g) = 34g protein — plus fiber, fat, and flavor Start with protein, but don’t stop there. #protien #diettips #weightloss #fatlosstips #diet #balanceddiet
