Ever feel like you’re chocking on dry chicken when trying to hit your protein intake?

That’s a common complaint I’ve heard from people once they realize what their actual protein goal is (.7-1g/lb of ideal body weight).

Yes that might sound like a lot, but it’s super important (if you’re interested in why check out my metabolism mastery day 2 workshop video here).

I won’t bore you with the reasoning, just want to give you a couple actionable tips that have helped me and my clients 🙂

1) Cook your rice in bone broth. – Bone broth is loaded with protein (~10g per cup) and other awesome nutrients, adding it to rice makes it an easy way to to up protein intake without even thinking about it

2) Add a scoop of protein powder to your coffee. – Not does it add a delicious flavor, but it’s an easy way to sneak an extra 20-30g of protein in. Here are some of my favorite brands: (Legion and Just Ingredients).

3) Add 200g of egg whites to your 2 morning egg scramble. – Super simple way to bump that 12g of protein to 34g without any extra effort!

4) Swap your regular pasta for a protein variety. – Chick pea, lentil, black bean or even the barilla protein + pastas are all great swaps that can easily add in an extra 10-20g per pasta meal!

5) Swap peanut butter for PB2. – PB2 is a lower fat peanut butter powder that when mixed with water gets the same texture and taste as regular PB (and tastes just as good IMO). (Caveat fat isn’t bad, but you can get more protein and less calories per serving).

6) Swap your sour cream for greek yogurt. – Most people look at me like I’m crazy when I say that, but in all honesty it works and has WAYYY more protein. Even my husband agrees 😆

That’s all I can think of right now 😄
