Training breaks your muscles down; food builds them back up. Protein is the building block, and most people getting into strength training simply don’t eat enough of it.
A simple target
Aim for a palm-sized portion of protein at each meal. Eggs, chicken, Greek yogurt, beans, fish, tofu — whatever you’ll actually eat consistently.
You don’t need supplements to start. You need a plan you can keep. Ask a coach if you want help building one.
