Joy Kong, MD shares Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's advice on breaking a fast: prioritize protein in your first meal. Aim for 50-60 grams of protein, like 200g of meat plus a shake.
50 to 60 grams of protein.
About 200 grams of meat plus (possibly) a shake.
What do you eat to break a fast? You know Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, right? Yeah. So I really like what she says about protein. Okay. And so sometimes I think about her. I don't know her personally, but I think about her like she's watching over my shoulder, and she's like, val, there's not enough protein in your plate. And she insists on the fact that your first meal of the day should be the heaviest in protein. And it was not the way I was looking at things before, and now I'm really looking at getting 50 to 60 grams of protein my first meal. So it's like 200 grams of meat and then may shake or something like that. That's great. Yeah. That's such a good, tangible tip.
