The other challenge I did was the Summer Shred. Its meal 5 was 1.5 scoops of protein. With this challenge being more on building muscle I’m curious why only 1 scoop this time?

Nicole creates all the challenges differently. Nutrition can be slightly (and I mean SLIGHLTY, you are talking about 1/2 scoop of protein which is 12g of protein) difference based on a number factors throughout the entire overall programming, including cardio frequency, intensity and duration, workout structure and protein throughout the entire meal plan.
Look at your overall protein for the day, as well as other macronutrient ratios, overall programing with cardio, weightlifting, rest days, etc. It all comes in to play when looking at adding in or taking out 12g of protein post-workout 😉
Understand. I’m just trying to troubleshoot why I haven’t lost as much in 6 weeks as I did in 4 and I’m so much more hungry. I’m thinking we did more cardio at end of few days for the shred, and I thought the extra protein may have helped my hunger.

You can always subtract 1/2 protein from another meal and use it for post-workout to add 1/2 scoop of protein if you feel like that will help!
