10 Things I Would NOT Do to Hit My Protein Target (40+ Fat Loss Edition)
About this episode
If you’re a woman over 40 trying to lose fat and still struggling to hit your protein goals, this episode is for you.
Because chances are-it’s not that you’re “bad at protein.” It’s that you’ve just haven't made it a priority.
In this episode, I’m breaking down 10 things I would NOT do if I were trying to hit my protein target as a woman 40+ focused on fat loss.
We’re talking about the common protein mistakes I see all the time, including:
- Relying on protein bars instead of real food
- Thinking two eggs is a “high-protein” breakfast
- Skipping protein earlier in the day and saving it all for dinner
- Being afraid to eat a bigger portion of chicken or meat
- Assuming you’re getting enough protein without ever checking
You’ll learn what to do instead, how to make protein simple and repeatable, and why consistency-not perfection-is what actually drives results after 40.
This episode is inspired by the Protein at Every Meal challenge inside Inspire Nutrition, where we focus on practical habits, real food, and accountability that fits busy lives and changing hormones.
If you’re ready to stop under-eating protein, stop overthinking nutrition, and start fueling your body in a way that supports fat loss and strength-this episode will give you clarity and a clear next step.
