One of our “5 Secrets to Becoming the Best Version of Yourself” is a balanced diet. The majority of us tend to eat a lot of our protein during our evening meals instead of getting 25 to 30 grams of protein per meal per day.
Here are some great tips to help add more protein to all of your meals.
Breakfast:
• Try grabbing a granola bar with at least 10 grams of protein.
• Greek yogurts are a quick way to add 12 to 15 grams of protein to your breakfast.
• Make egg muffins or burritos ahead of time for quick breakfast options.
Lunch:
• Try adding lentils, beans or hard-boiled eggs to salads or wraps for added protein.
• Top your fruit with a . cup of cottage cheese to get an extra 13 grams of protein.
• Need an afternoon snack? Try a half a cup of edamame or an ounce of nuts.
Dinner:
• Keep in mind this good rule of thumb to portion sizes: 3 ounces of flank steak, ground beef, ground turkey, chicken breast, pork chop and most fish all contain about 25 grams of protein.
