Hey

This week's newsletter is out and this week I will discuss

"Why You’re Probably Not Eating Enough Protein (and How to Fix It)"

You train hard, you ride long hours, but if your protein intake isn’t dialled in, you’re leaving strength and performance gains on the table.

I thought I was eating enough protein. Turns out, I wasn’t even close.

Like most cyclists, I focused on carbs for fuel. Oats, rice, pasta—you know the drill. But as I started pushing for more strength gains and an FTP boost, I realized my protein intake was way off.

Here’s the thing: as we age, we need more protein, not less. Peter Attia, one of the leading voices in longevity and performance, recommends at least 1.6–2.2g of protein per kg of body weight for active individuals. That means if you weigh 75kg, you’re looking at 120–165g of protein per day.

Sounds doable? Not if you’re winging it.
