Fat Loss Tips
- Focus on calorie intake and regular exercise, especially resistance training, for fat loss.
- Protein intake is important, but most people consume enough; excess protein might be converted to fat.
Protein's Role in Fat Loss
- Adequate protein aids fat loss by promoting fullness, potentially reducing overeating.
- However, just like carbs, excess protein can be converted to body fat, hindering fat loss efforts.
Protein Calculation
- Calculate your protein needs based on body weight in kilograms (pounds / 2.2).
- Multiply this by 1.2-1.7 grams if you do resistance training; a 125lb person needs 68-97 grams daily.
