You're showing up. You're doing the work. But the results aren't moving. Before you change your program, look at your plate.
1. You're sore for days
Under-eating protein means your muscles can't rebuild. Soreness that lingers past 72 hours is often a food problem, not a training problem.
2. Your energy dies mid-workout
Training fasted on yesterday's tacos is a recipe for a dead-legged session. Your body needs fuel in the tank.
3. You're hungry again an hour after eating
A meal with 15 grams of protein and a pile of refined carbs burns through fast. Forty grams of protein keeps you full for hours.
4. The scale won't budge
Restaurant and fast food portions hide 300 to 500 extra calories you never counted. You can't out-train food you can't measure.
5. You dread leg day recovery
See sign one. Protein is recovery. No protein, no recovery, no progress.
Training is the easy part. Eating like you mean it is the whole game.
