Does Protein Make You Gain Weight? - Day 19
Description
Does eating more protein make you gain weight? In Day 19 of the 90 Day RAC Summer Recomp Series, we separate fact from fiction and explain why protein itself doesn't cause fat gain, but some processed protein foods can leave you feeling bloated and retaining water. Learn the difference between whole-food protein and protein bars, when convenience foods make sense, and how to hit your protein goals without sacrificing body recomposition.
Today's RAC Targets
- Stock a portable protein source where you'll need it this week.
- Try one new high-protein recipe.
- Take one progress measurement (weight, waist, or progress photo).
