How to Calculate

Here's how to easily determine if a food fits the 30% protein rule.
  • 1
    Find the grams of protein on the nutrition label
  • 2
    Multiple grams of protein by 4 to find calories from protein
  • 3
    Divide by total calories per serving to get percentage of protein.
  • 4
    If the calculation is .3 or higher, then it fits the 30% Protein Rule!

Plan Your Perfect Meal

You can use this rule to average out a meal plate or snack.

For example, if you want to have some fruit. Add in some Greek yogurt to tip the scales up to 30% protein.

Protip: Every main meal should have a 4-6oz of lean meat.
That will generally put you at 30% protein, if you're making smart food choices.

Or, just add a protein shake to your meal to boost up the protein percentage quickly.

Why Is Protein So Important?

Protein is a big deal for two primary reasons:

  • It fills you up at much lower calorie point than other macronutrients.
  • It's critical if you want to acheive pure fat loss. (And keep your muscle)

Let's talk about #2 more. When you eat at a calorie deficit, your body will begin to use it's stored nutrients as fuel. The only place that protein is stored is your muscles. So that's what your body will break down if it needs protein.

Normally, when eating in a calorie balance or surplus, your body can use the nutrients from your meals to fuel your protein demands. So if you're goal is to lose fat, and maintain or build muscle, we must be getting adequate protein from our food to prevent our muscles from being broken down.
