Boosting Protein Intake for Effective Weightlifting Results

TL;DR Summary
A woman who primarily ran for exercise realized her protein intake was low when she started weightlifting. Despite following a Mediterranean diet, she discovered she was only consuming about 30 grams of protein per day, far below the recommended amount. After making simple tweaks to her diet, such as adding more salmon, eggs, tinned fish, and protein powder, she noticed significant improvements in her fitness and energy levels. Additionally, weightlifting helped her become a better runner, and she plans to run a full marathon next year with a protein-fueled diet.
