Protein is suddenly everywhere, Cheerios, Doritos, you name it, and the labels want you to believe more is always better. This week gets into why that marketing trick works, and why most of it doesn't actually move the needle on your daily protein total.

From ditching the whole breakfast, lunch, and dinner structure to figuring out how much protein your body actually needs based on activity level, this one lays out a practical system for building a plate that works: protein first, fats next, carbs last. There's also a math problem on a protein chip bag that doesn't quite add up, and a pasta hack that might change how you build your own meals.

Simple rules, real food, and a few labels getting called out along the way.
