Happy FriYAY! Anyone else planning on all things Fall this weekend? I’m kicking off the week with stuffed acorn squash for dinner! The recipe I use tastes like Thanksgiving. It’s delicious if that’s your jam. Anyway, I had a meeting of the minds this morning to discuss the 6-week Nutrition Challenge<\/a> starting Monday and thought I would give you a sneak peek of some of the things you might learn during the challenge.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nMost Americas don’t eat enough protein so when someone is just starting to count\/track macros\/food, in general, it’s usually the hardest macronutrient to hit. At least it was for me and a number of clients I’ve worked with. But after a few weeks, it gets easier and easier to hit number within 4\/5 grams. So instead of spinning your wheels, here are some quick and easy ways to eat more protein.<\/p>\n

5 Ways to Add more Protein to your Day<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Coffee + Protein<\/b>
\nIf I’m not planning on a protein shake or smoothie I love adding a scoop of unflavored collagen peptides<\/a> to my coffee. Not only are you upping your protein, but collagen also has great benefits such as flowy locks and stronger nails. It’s a win-win in my book.<\/p>\n

Add extra meat to your meal<\/b>
\nAdding a little bit of chicken at lunch or dinner will give you the extra boost of protein you need.<\/p>\n

Oatmeal + Protein<\/b>
\nIf you’re not an egg person I suggest making protein-packed oatmeal. Just add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, a dash of nut milk and top with berries. BOOM you just had 20+ grams of protein and will likely be full till lunch \ud83d\ude42 This is also a super easy way to get in protein when traveling.<\/p>\n

Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt + Berries<\/b>
\nPlain Greek Yogurt is such a simple way to add extra protein. Add a few berries, maybe some powdered PB and a dash of honey and you have a “healthy” sweet treat! Those who know me well know I have this EVERY night. Sometimes with granola if I have the carbs and fats to spare.
\n
<\/b> All the Egg Whites <\/b>
\nBreakfast scrambles are the easiest way to increase your daily protein. Makes egg whites with all the leftover roasted veggies and ta-da you have a filling protein packed breakfast.<\/p>\n

There you have it, folks, a few simple ways to increase your daily protein. Want to join the 6-week Nutrition Challenge<\/a>?  Click HERE<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
