Let’s Talk Protein Part 2
In my last post, I promised to tell you how I easily hit my protein goal of 140g/day. Remember, this goal will be different for each of you. It’s based on consuming 1g of protein per pound of IDEAL body weight. For me, I eat slightly above my ideal weight as I’m so active.
So, here goes …
Breakfast -
- I cup coffee w/2 Tbsp Nut Pods Almond Coconut Creamer
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 slices uncured Canadian bacon
- 1/2 c Sprout’s cottage cheese
- Creatine Monohydrate 5000 mg
- Mixed berries
Calories 331, Protein 31.2G
Lunch -
- Sprout’s Just Chicken 5 oz
- 2 c red leaf lettuce
- Handful of dinosaur kale
- 6 grape tomatoes
- 1/2 c steamed broccoli
- 1/2 Hass avocado
- Herb de Provence Vinaigrette
- 1/4 c chick peas
- 1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
Calories 590, Protein 53.9g
Snack -
- Stonyfield Farms Organic 100% grass fed plain Greek yogurt 1 cup
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seeds Calories
- 1 Tbsp Chia seeds
- Mixed berries
Calories 291, Protein 23.6g
Dinner -
- 5 oz 100% grass fed beef
- 10 Asparagus spears
Calories 350, Protein 30.2G
Total for day …
1562 Calories
139g Protein!
If I needed more protein, I could easily add a protein shake (photo attached of the one I recommend), for an additional 130 calories and 24g of protein.
This is just one example, but the proteins used are interchangeable. Be it chicken, beef, bison, fish or plant based protein sources, the point is to just prioritize that in your diet.
I’m here to answer any questions and would love to hear if this sounds like something you’d like to try.
Have a wonderful, active weekend!
