3 Easy Ways to Eat More Protein
If you want some serious results in the gym, it’s going to take more than just pushing yourself harder - you gotta get the nutrition piece down.
One of the best things you can do is focus on getting more protein in your diet.
Why?
Because there is a laundry list of benefits:
Boost in your metabolism
Build lean muscle
Trigger fat loss
Get stronger
More sustained energy
Fewer cravings throughout the day
Burn calories while you sleep
More likely to defeat Thanos
Better chance for a raise at work
I mean who wouldn't want to get on board with this??!!
We recommend you shoot for about .7-1g of your ideal body weight.
So if your body composition goals are to be around 150 pounds, you’ll need about 105g-150g of protein per day.
& here are three ways you can start improving it today.
1) Double it Up
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Get another serving of chicken, steak, or fish, and reduce the carb and/or fat content to keep a similar portion size.
This simple way of organizing your plate will ensure you get enough protein and start to minimize empty calories that don’t do much for your body composition.
2) Add a Daily Protein Shake
Protein shakes are one of the easiest ways to increase your protein intake. And most of the time, extremely necessary. With a wide variety of options and flavors, your creations are limitless. You can go the route of powder, bottled, or water-based.
I love to add spinach and fruits in here which brings a lot of taste to the shake and also helps me add a serving of fruit and vegetables to my day.
3) Only Meal Prep Your Proteins
Most meal prepping requires lots of work because you’re making everything but the reality is fats and carbs are usually quick to make and even pre-cooked. So we recommend you just focus on prepping your proteins.
Use that crockpot, air fryer, and anything that makes food easier and better to eat.
Adding more protein to your diet doesn’t have to be as difficult as you think and by doubling up your servings during meals, adding a daily protein shake, and pre-cooking some of your proteins throughout the week you’ll be surprised at how quickly you start hitting your health & hotness goals.
