Lean Protein Intake

Meaning

Lean Protein Intake refers to the dietary consumption of protein sources that are characterized by a high protein-to-fat ratio, meaning they contain minimal saturated fat and cholesterol. These sources typically include poultry breast, fish, legumes, and specific cuts of red meat, and they are essential macronutrients for supporting muscle synthesis, hormonal precursor production, and maintaining metabolic health. Adequate lean protein intake is a foundational nutritional strategy in hormonal wellness, supporting satiety and preventing age-related muscle wasting, or sarcopenia.
