What should my protein goal be for weight loss?
I'm hitting the gym regularly and trying to lose weight while building some muscle. What should my protein goal be for weight loss? I heard protein is important, but not sure how much.

Look, standard rule is around 0.8g to 1g of protein per kg of your body weight, especially if you are moderately active. Don't go overboard with expensive supplements right away. Just increase your egg whites, dal, and paneer, and keep moving.
Let us not get too lost in numbers and stress our minds. Just try to include a clean source of protein like lentils, paneer, or curd in every meal. Treat your body with love and positivity, and the weight loss will follow naturally.
I used to feel so guilty and overwhelmed looking at fitness influencers talking about eating massive amounts of protein. It is totally fine to start small with just adding one bowl of curd or double dal to your diet. Don't let the numbers make you feel anxious.
I tried all kinds of detox waters and extreme low-protein diets before realizing they don't work. Now I just focus on eating sprouts, sattu, and boiled paneer as my daily protein. It keeps my cravings down and helps with weight loss much better.
