Luteal Phase Protein Target
Luteal phase protein target keeps amino acids steady before your period—same daily grams as other weeks, split across meals to steady hunger and blood sugar.
A luteal phase protein target keeps amino acid intake steady in the premenstrual week when hunger rises and some people cut protein to save calories. Most active adults still need roughly the same grams per day—often one point six to two point two grams per kilogram if you lift—distributed across breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Protein at each meal blunts carb-only crashes that amplify cravings. Do not slash protein to punish appetite.
Common questions
-
Do protein needs drop in the luteal phase?
Training and muscle repair still need amino acids. Hold protein steady; adjust carbs and total calories if hunger and performance trends justify it.
