I’m a nutritionist and cyclist, trust me when I say you’re probably not getting enough protein

You spend countless hours on the bike, in the gym, and fine-tuning your training and equipment with the latest science. But what about your diet: do you give it the same level of precision? If you’re lacking protein, you could be sabotaging your recovery and progress without even realizing it.

As a nutritionist and athlete, I have spent years immersing myself in research and fine-tuning my own diet for optimal performance.

Let’s take a look at how much protein your body actually needs to recover and thrive.
