What is the 30/30/30 morning routine and does it work?

Some diet fads are barely worth a five-second TikTok video but the 30/30/30 morning routine has now crossed beyond the micro video app into the mainstream and could be here to stay. Videos of the practice have now clocked up more than 20 million views and viewers are enjoying the fact that it does not require participants to join an exercise plan or extreme diet. It’s less hardcore than the fabled 75 Hard and requires less of a to-do list than the viral Andrew Huberman method.

Here’s what you need to know. The routine is simply consuming 30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking up and then completing 30 minutes of low-intensity cardio. Other reports have put the origin of the fad down to Gary Brecka, a “biohacker” and fan of Donald Trump’s new health chief, Robert F Kennedy Jr. Reysu, a YouTube participant, said that loading up on protein at the beginning of the day can help maintain a steady level of glucose to allow a continuous level of focus without spikes.

Four ounces of boneless chicken, three ounces of tuna, or two turkey sausages will all get you beyond the 30g mark. For vegetarian options, two eggs make around 12g of protein and a serving of black beans can be 15g. A cup of Greek yogurt can contain 17g of protein while a handful of almonds can contain a similar amount. One glass of milk will be around 3.4g of protein. And there are also shakes which will contain 15g-30g of protein. Some of the best ones are here for you to sample.

There is no rule as such for what this is or how it should look, but it shouldn’t make you work too hard. A brisk walk or a light run is fine. It could be walking a dog or going to work. “It’s easy to remember. I usually eat about 30g of protein for breakfast. It should be about 40 per cent of our diet.”. “I’m 50 and this disingenuous nonsense makes me feel insecure,” she wrote. “I instantly discovered the biggest problem with this regime: 30g of protein is an absurd amount.

“I’m back to my usual, deeply unsatisfactory 40/90/10 routine: 40 minutes of horizontal denial, 90 minutes of doomscrolling, then saying: “Right!” loudly 10 times until I shame myself into the shower.”. Others were more positive, with Reysu on YouTube stating: “It’s the simplest morning routine I’ve found to optimise my focus and my fitness.”. Morgan Green added: “Eating protein is great. It makes you put effort into getting protein. Having a nice satisfied stomach can just help you.
