The Weekend

More ways to add protein to your diet (bc if you know me, I insist on lots of protein, idealy a gram of protein for each pound of your body weight)

- vanilla protein mix to coffee (I have not tried this but a friend has)
- protein mix added to yogurt (get that much more in a snack)
- I stocked up on a variety of beans this weekend, I will add these to my spinach salads
- Protein mixes are not just for body builders & really an awesome way to get your protein intake in. Whey protein is your best bet and if you would like any ideas/suggestions on this please contact me, I've tried a few in my days :)
- Eggs, yes I am still eating eggs. I think at one time during my training I was eating about 14 eggs a day. I don't eat nearly that many, but I do eat them. If I were to eat 4 at one time, I would also eat one yolk. I also add eggs to my salads.
- I'm not a fan of protein bars you find in the grocery store, not the best bet. But before someone corrects me and says they see me eating protein bars; I do eat them, just not the ones from the grocery store. I buy Zero Impact bars (peanut butter & jelly) ... sounds funny, but they are really good and 30 grms of protein. Even my dad likes them & he's a picky eater.

Really try to get protein in every meal/snack. You really don't want to go over 30-40 grms of protein in one setting b/c your body can't ingest more than that at one time. So no, don't slam a 60 grm protein shake.

Have a good Monday :)
