Most people obsess over calories and ignore the ONE macro that decides whether you get leaner or just smaller: protein.

In multiple 30-day studies:
- Same calorie deficit
- Same training volume
- Same schedule

The only difference?
🔹 High protein: More than 1g/lb/day
🔹 Low protein: Less than 1g/lb/day

High-protein groups consistently:
✅ Lost MORE fat
✅ Kept (or gained) lean mass
✅ Reported less hunger

Low-protein groups?
❌ Similar scale weight change…
❌ Worse body composition
❌ Hungrier and more likely to fall off

You’re not “stuck.” You’re under-proteined.

My rule of thumb for anyone training in a deficit:
👉 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight per day
👉 0.3–0.4 g/kg PER MEAL, 4x/day

Same calories. Same training.
Different protein = different body.

I break down the exact 30-day protocol, scan-day checklist, and meal structure in my latest YouTube video.

💬 What’s your current protein intake in g/lb? Be honest.
