At this time, most of us agree that adequate protein intake is important.
But why is it?
Personally, I think the BEST benefit is that eating enough protein increases muscle mass and strength 💪🏾 forget the old school advice “eat your Wheaties” you’ll benefit WAY more by eating your protein!
Muscle is made primarily of protein. High protein intake can help you gain muscle mass and strength while reducing muscle loss during weight loss.
If you’ve never tracked your food before but want to start, shoot for 100 grams per day. Break it up into 3 or 4 meals (33 grams protein per meal for 3 meals or 25 grams of protein per meal for 4 meals).
Check out last week’s post on how to get in 100 grams protein per day.
Here’s a quick meal plan:
Breakfast: Smoothie with 1 scoop protein powder
Lunch: 5 ounces lean protein with rice and veg
Dinner: Rice and Beans with Veg and 5 ounces of lean animal protein or veggie protein option.
Snack: 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, berries, nut butter and granola
Treat: Plug in one treat to satisfy your daily craving!
