Am I Getting ENOUGH PROTEIN?

Am I Getting ENOUGH PROTEIN?

How do you know if you’re not eating enough protein?

“When you’re not getting enough protein, your body sends signals that may be subtle at first,” Emily says.

Here are some common signs:

  • Fatigue or low energy – “Protein stabilizes blood sugar, so low levels of protein can lead to energy dips.”
  • Weak or thinning hair and brittle nails – “Hair and nails rely on protein (keratin), so protein deficiency can affect their strength.”
  • Muscle weakness or loss – “Protein is crucial for muscle maintenance. A lack of it can make you feel weak or lose muscle tone.”
  • Frequent cravings or feeling unsatisfied after meals – “Protein keeps you fuller for longer, so low intake can leave you feeling unsatisfied and craving more food.”
