If you’re guzzling down shakes in order to try to get more protein in your day, please take a sec to read through this.
First of all, let’s remember why protein is important and why I will always give you a target to aim for:
When you hit 30, you start to lose muscle (become less toned) every year.
There are 2 things that can prevent this from happening: resistance training and eating enough protein.
Oftentimes, I find clients reaching out for more than one shake in a day in order to reach their protein target. If you do the same then I invite you to try these tips instead. You’ll feel way more healthy and energised!
(Because a larger variety of protein sources = a larger variety of nutrients = much better health).
Tip 1:
Increase the amount of protein you’re already having with your main meal. Simply adding an extra 20g of whatever protein source you’re having at each meal can easily bump up the amount of protein in your day without any extra faff.
Tip 2:
Add little extras or replacements to your existing meal that can top up your protein.
(Think about sprinkling seeds on your food, using cottage cheese instead of butter on your toast or potato, or adding something like an Arla protein yoghurt for dessert.)
Tip 3:
Make sure you’re having breakfast. You can easily get an extra 30-40g of protein in your day by doing this.
Remember, more protein = more energy, more muscle tone, and a happy, healthy life now AND later ❤️
(And some pretty nice curves to boot!)
If you’re unsure on how much protein you should be having, send me a message and I can help you to figure it out 🫶
