@katiefawn: POV: you stopped “snacking like a bird” and started fueling like a woman who actually wants muscle + low body fat 🤍 not saying a 1/2 banana or a handful of almonds is bad… but if your goal is to look toned, build muscle, and feel satisfied—this matters: • protein increases satiety hormones (GLP-1, PYY) → you stay full longer • it stabilizes blood sugar → less cravings + energy crashes • your body burns more calories digesting protein vs carbs/fats (thermic effect) • you NEED adequate protein to build + maintain lean muscle (aka the “toned” look) • under-eating = more stress on your body → harder fat loss, more inflammation translation: a high-protein snack (think 20–30g) will do more for your physique + hormones than picking at low-cal snacks all day eat to fuel your body, not to eat as little as possible 🤍 #highprotein #womensfitness #fatlosstips #protein #fatloss
