Happy Fit Tip Friday!
You frequently hear me talk about all the reasons to eat more protein.
It helps with muscle-building.
It takes longer to breakdown.
It keeps you fuller longer.
If you’re tracking your food, you want to target 1 gram per your goal bodyweight. So 125g if your goal is 125 pounds. At a minimum, targeting 100 grams is a great starting point.
How to Get More Protein in Your Diet
Focus on your favorites.
Some of the foods with the highest protein content includes eggs, steak, Greek yogurt, protein bars, protein powder, seitan, tofu. Do a quick Google search and pick out your favorites.Make protein the foundation of your meals and snacks.
It’s easy to find carbs and fat in everything. Protein is a bit tougher. As you plan your meals and snacks, figure out what your protein source is. For example, lunch could be a salad with grilled chicken. Breakfast may be oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder.Supplement with collagen, bone broth, and other easy-to-consume protein sources
It’s easy to add collagen to your coffee or sip on bone broth in between meals. Both are great sources of protein. In addition, essential amino acids (EAAs) is another great supplement. Ideally you want to start with whole foods before adding in supplements. But if digestion is an issue, this is a great alternative.
That’s this week’s fit tip. Hit reply and let me know — what’s your favorite go-to protein? Mine is definitely egg whites, steak and protein bars/powder.
Stay healthy,
