Whether you’re a regular attendee at a 6am Pilates class, or prefer getting your steps in with a hot girl walk and a matcha (while listening to a podcast, of course), chances are you’re also on the side of TikTok that is telling you to eat more protein.
The protein market has boomed recently—yes, we’re talking about those protein chips, protein waters and protein coffees—but it can sometimes feel like you need a personal trainer just to debunk how to incorporate it into your diet.
