Usual Signs of a Protein Deficiency
If you are not eating enough protein… you are starving the true longevity organ… your muscle.

I find constantly that individuals consume too little protein. This is mainly because you are consuming too many carbs, too much sugar, and too little protein.
I’ve shared many times in the past the formula I use for protein intake.
1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight (ideal body weight) if you are exercising and trying to gain muscle.
Or….
.8 grams x ideal body weight….
You may be fat off from this number and look at it saying to yourself… that’s too much!
