Hey, I’m glad you’re here. 👋
This is REXECT Circle 💖 A place I created for women who have decided to actually show up for themselves.
I'll be sharing what I find and use. Products worth buying, ingredients worth understanding, deals worth knowing about. Just honest takes.
This is just the beginning. The website is live, the first guide is in the works and this community is just getting started.
So welcome to the beginning of something. I think it’s going to be good. 🥹💪

I'm starting with protein. 😎
It's the first topic I'll stay on for a bit.
Mostly because it became very real for me.
When I understood how much I actually need, I started counting. I'm around 65 kg, so the target is not low (i personally aim for around 120 g). And it turned out I was not even close.
So that was a bit unexpected.
Then it became more practical.
What do I actually eat in a day?
What do I cook?
How do I make it protein-focused without overthinking everything?
It's good to be more aware, but it also adds a layer. Now it's not just what do I feel like eating, it's also- does this actually give me what I need.
Since I train and want to build or at least maintain muscle this matters even more..

One thing I noticed after that.
When I'm in a hurry or just don't feel like cooking, I don't choose what to eat the same way anymore.
Before it could be anything.
Now I catch myself thinking,
does this at least give me some protein?
That's where things like shakes, protein bars, yogurt, puddings come in. Not because they're perfect, but at least practical.
Just a few options that make it easier to stay on track without overthinking it. 🙌

This breakfast has 61 g of protein so I'm fueled enough for the day 💪 and yes I'm still having cheesecake with my coffee 😍 (extra 13 g of protein there)
Here is what i found when i actually checked:
*condensed milk — 8.8 g protein, 124 kcal, lowest sugar
*peanut — 7.8 g protein, 135 kcal, decent balance
*salted caramel — 7.4 g protein, 135 kcal, most carbs
*white chocolate — 7.6 g protein, 143 kcal, most sugar and fat
The best tasting one had the worst numbers which is not surprising but still annoying.
They are fine as a quick snack for 0.49€ but don't count on them as a real protein source.
