SAVE THIS– TEN TIPS FOR MORE PROTEIN👇🏼
First, what is protein? Proteins are essential nutrients for the body. They are the building blocks to pretty much everything your body needs! Plus, protein is the most satiating macro & helps to stabilize your blood sugar… bye, bye sugar cravings! 👋
Ok, so how much do you need? I recommend aiming for 1 gram per lb of bodyweight. Scary, I know, but nothing you can’t do!
Here are 10 easy ways to get more protein throughout the day:
01.— STOP intermittent fasting.
Trying to fit 120g of protein into a limited eating window is ROUGH. Instead aim to eat within the first hour of waking up. This will prevent you from shoveling protein in as the day goes on.
02.— START your day with a high protein breakfast.
For example, 3 slices of turkey bacon (18g), greek yogurt (12g), and a protein shake (20g).
03.— sip on bone broth..
04.— add protein powder to your coffee or tea.
05.— add cottage cheese to your meals… pasta, sauces, dips, toast, eggs, etc.
06.— snack on jerky, greek yogurt, cheese, edamame, almonds, deli meat, etc.
07.— when eating, fill up on protein first.
Eat half of your protein first, then move to carbs and fats. This way you don’t fill up on carbs, then fall short on your protein.
08.— when eating out ask for double protein.
09.— swap for leaner cuts of meat (93/7 is a good rule of thumb).
10.— if you can, swap your non-dairy items for grass fed options.
