Protein = Progress. Workout and cut calories all you want; but without a high protein diet you’re not going to be happy with your results.
If you fell off the fitness routine this summer like I did, here 2 tips I use to get back on track with my nutrition:
1. Consume protein at every meal and snack. At my big meals I focus on getting in beef, chicken, pork, eggs, etc. I eat approx 20-30grams worth at protein each meal. I don’t necessary track, but I know what this amount looks like because of practice and I aim for it at every meal.
2. Have high protein snacks for on the go that are easy. I grab beef jerky or some sort of meat stick, protein drinks, protein bars, Greek yogurt, chicken broth, cottage cheese, protein powders mixed into things, homemade protein balls, etc. make sure it’s available at all times, especially for the days that are packed and busy or away on vacation
The rest of my nutrition might not be perfect but that’s okay. I am prioritizing protein for the next few weeks while I get back into a routine. Keep it simple and you’ll create a habit and routine. We can add more to it later once the routine is back!
