Danica Patrick reveals her breakfast protein goals
The Beloit-born former racer is a very popular and active personality on social media. Patrick shares her workouts, thoughts, life updates, and even dietary choices on varied platforms. In one such update, she shared her protein goals and also the secret of her arms and abs.
On Wednesday, April 16, the former IndyCar driver reshared a post of NYT bestselling author Max Lugavere. The said post spoke of uninformed decisions people make about their diet, and specifically their protein intake.
"People will really eat 2 eggs for breakfast and think they've hit their protein goal for the day. Bless their hearts," it read.
The 43-year-old reshared it, affirming Lugavere's thoughts. To add to the agreement, the racing star also shared what she eats for breakfast. She also stated that one can get toned arms and abs by adequate protein intake and training with heavy weight.
"Right? 2 eggs isn't even the protein needed for breakfast!!!! I just had 3 eggs + 2 whites and sourdough toast with avocado. And if I am in a rush, I'll make 5 eggs and run out the door. People ask me, how do I get your arms or abs or whatever.. Eat protein and lift heavy. (And make sure your hormones are right.)," wrote Danica.
Patrick has made over 300 appearances on the racing track (open wheel and stock car), etching multiple records in history books, including being the only female to have won an IndyCar race (Japan 2008).
