Why is 30g of protein at breakfast so key for metabolic health, women’s hormones, and insulin resistance?
To put it simply: under 30g in one meal, you’re still getting valuable amino acids and blood sugar balancing benefits. But as soon as you hit 30g or more, you’re actually STIMULATING your muscle mass!
My doctor, Dr. Garbrielle Lyon, who learned from her mentor Dr. Donald Layman, taught me that your first meal and last meal should have at least 30g of protein, as this is the threshold that stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS). We discuss this further in our podcast episode linked here.
WHAT IS MUSCLE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS?
MPS is what allows us to create new, and even protect existing muscle tissue, which we know is the most insulin sensitive tissue in the body (and your best bet at reversing and preventing things like PCOS or insulin resistance).
MPS is also stimulated by resistance / weight training, when the muscles are physically challenged, but when it comes to reversing chronic disease (especially as we age) we want to be stimulating protein synthesis both through training AND diet. It’s like a life hack for a double whammy so that your exercise is 2x as effective.
WHY HITTING 30g OF PROTEIN MATTERS:
In order to stimulate muscle protein synthesis through diet, Dr. Donald Layman discovered after YEARS of research in his lab that it takes a threshold of 30g of protein in one sitting (per meal) or more. This data point is extremely valuable because beforehand, we didn’t know the goal we wanted to hit per meal with scientific certainty. MPS maxes out at around 50g per meal, so shoot for 30-50!
Another benefit of hitting 30g specifically at breakfast is satiation. Some animals, including us, exhibit “protein prioritization,” meaning we will naturally want to feed until our protein needs are met, even if that means going over our caloric needs.By front-loading protein, I have found that my brain is less fixated on food, I’m fuller for longer, and I’ve been able to stop binge eating in the evenings because my needs are met! (There is an emotional regulation piece to the last part too, but protein in the morning really “flipped a switch” in my brain).

My family is totally happy. My husband left me and my 2 kids 4 wks ago and I’m just not coping! We’d been together since we were 18 and after 22 yrs I feel like I’ve lost everything. I can’t eat or sleep and I’m struggling to keep it together at work. I know I have to be strong for the children but I’m a complete wreck and I am desperately ashamed that I’m affecting them. They are 6 and 9 and obviously are going to need a lot of support and I feel like I’m such a failure. People keep telling me it will get better but at the moment I can’t see beyond the hurt and desperation I feel. my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. I have tried many options but he did not come back, until i met a friend that directed me to Dr. Excellent a spell caster, who helped me to bring back my husband after 11hours.

I want to share my amazing experience with everyone about a spell caster called Dr Kala, my husband was cheating on me and when I found out we had a fight which led to him filing for a divorce, I cried and begged him to forgive me but he insisted on divorcing me. When i was searching for some love quotes on how to get my husband back, i saw people talking about Dr Kala and his great work on how he help them to resolve their love issues and they left his contact info and i contacted him and he told me not to worry that after 24hrs my husband will cancel the divorce and come back to me after i did everything he asked me to do, to my greatest surprise after 24hrs, my husband came back and he knelt down begging me to accept him back and he promised me he will never cheat or leave me again. He cancelled the divorce and returned back home. Thank you once again Dr Kala you are indeed a blessing to me.You can also contact Dr Kala to help you get your ex back on email: [email protected] or WhatsApp +2347051705853
