Easy Ways to Increase Your Protein Intake, before that

I will tell you why should we take protein?

Protein is a nutrient your body needs to grow and repair cells, and to work properly.

Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. There are about 20 different
amino acids that link together in different combinations. Your body uses them to make
new proteins, such as muscle and bone, and other compounds such as enzymes and hormones. It can also use them as an energy source.

Protein foods

- poultry   chicken, turkey, duck, emu, goose, bush birds
- fish and seafood   fish, prawns, crab, lobster, mussels, oysters, scallops, clams
eggs
- dairy products  milk yoghurt (especially Greek yoghurt), cheese (especially cottage
cheese)
- nuts (including nut pastes) and seeds   almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, macadamias,
hazelnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds

Protein should account for 10% to 35% of your calories. So, if your daily needs are
2,000 calories, that's 200-700 calories from protein or 50-175 grams. If you're an

Mike,

Easy Ways to Increase Your Protein Intake, before that

I've gone back to Starkist Tuna Salad Pouches, which have several
varieties, including Deli Style, Bacon Ranch, Ranch, Hickory Smoked,
Honey Barbecue (my favorite), Lemon Pepper, and Herb and Garlic. There
are several others, including some that are too hot for my taste buds,
that I avoid.

One pouch makes 2 sandwiches on wheat bread (for fiber), and I top it
off with Kraft Sweet Honey barbecue sauce.

When it comes to protein intake, we are talking about subtle tweaks in your diet rather
than some revolutionary change.
You need to understand which foods have protein and structure your meals accordingly.

Eggs are the best protein carriers out there.
Eggs are complete protein source that contains all amino acids.
And only two eggs provide you with 12 grams of high quality protein with a relatively
low price tag.

Eggs require no complicated cooking process.
So, if you don't eat eggs every day and would like to boost your protein intake, this is
the first thing that should be addressed.

It's hard to beat animal sources when it comes to protein intake.
Chicken breast, turkey, fish, beef, and dairy products all deliver decent amounts of
protein with amino acids ratio suitable for your body.

Greek yogurt, for example, is a sneaky way to add 15-20 grams of protein per serving to
your diet.
Cottage cheese is similar in terms of its ability to increase protein intake. These are sources of casein protein, which means they will take a while to digest, which
makes them perfect sources of protein for pre-sleep intake.

Legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and edamame, are the most convenient sources of protein for vegans.
In particular, lentils provide 18 grams of protein per cup and come with fiber, which
increases their nutritional value.

The trick that will help you improve your protein intake faster than most of your friends
expect is to think of protein as the anchor of your meals.

Structure your meal around protein first, and everything else comes after. This way, you'll be more inclined to consume more protein in general, which will have a
positive impact on your health.

Switching from carbohydrate-based snacks to nuts, seeds, and even hard-boiled eggs
will significantly increase your protein intake without adding extra meals to your
schedule.

Protein requirements depend on the person's activity level.
Sedentary individuals should consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

For those who train regularly, or have reached the age of 50 years old, this figure ranges
between 1.2 and 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.
Muscle mass preservation becomes a physiological necessity in this case rather than just
a preference.
