3 Tips for Increasing Protein Intake

Struggling to hit your protein goals? Here are my top 3 tips for making it a breeze 👇

1. Simplicity is key 🔑

Don't get overwhelmed with fancy recipes. Protein shakes are a lifesaver – whip one up in the morning or stash them pre-made for a quick and delicious snack. Boiled eggs are another fantastic option – affordable, portable, and packed with protein. They're perfect for throwing in your bag for a busy day.

2. Prioritize protein on your plate 🥩

We all know veggies are important, but don't let them overshadow the protein! Building a meal around a protein source ensures you get a good dose at every meal. Craving a salad? Pair it with grilled chicken or tofu instead of just croutons.

3. Plan and prep like a pro 🧑‍🍳

Planning your meals for the week is a game-changer. Dedicate some time on the weekend to cook bigger batches of protein-rich dishes like lean meats, lentil soup, or baked tofu. Portion them out so you have grab-and-go options for those hectic days. This will prevent last-minute unhealthy choices when hunger strikes.

👉 By following these tips and incorporating protein-rich snacks throughout the day, reaching your protein goals will feel effortless.

Let me know in the comments below – what are your favorite ways to boost your protein intake?

* Greek yogurt (non fat has more protein).
* Ground beef.

Both are relatively inexpensive foods and are high in protein relative to calories (if you get lean meat, like 93/7).

And try to do grassfed and pasture raised—this also helps the animals. I refuse to support factory farms given how they treat the animals. Nobody would be okay with their pets being treated so cruelly.

I heard eating vegetables before the protein helps with digestion and keeps your body from getting that glucose spike.

I think the planning is the bigges too eggs are huge recently learned you can make hard boiled eggs in the instant pot with a game changer. The only thing with eating your protein first is if you do a veggie starter you stabilize your glucose spikes so it will help tremendously With everything health related plus it will keep you from having cravings later glucose revolution channel has a lot of cool tips. Also drinking apple cider vinegar will help your muscles suck up any carbohydrates if you take it with a meal where you have carbohydrates also I have come to love sardines they are so convenient. Just make sure you buy some with a high-quality olive oil, but they can be stuck in your purse in your car in your diaper bag in your pantry.

Building a meal around protein has been hard but is getting easier as I go. I used to add the protein last. Thanks!

I love adding pasteurized egg whites to protein drinks. cottage cheese also adds a good protein punch to protein drinks and makes them extra creamy.

Protein intake is easy! Thanks for sharing your top tips Dr Lyon! 💪

Good advice, if you plan ahead it saves time and improves your way of eating.

I add pastured eggs to my protein smoothies and it helps me get a lot of protein without having to eat eggs lol

The DRI calculator results says I, an active 112lb breastfeeding mother should eat 2, 525 calories per day, but recommends only 67g
of protein.
However it gives a range for carbohydrates and fat. (Carbs it says 288-418 😳).
It also says “as low as possible” for saturated fat and cholesterol.

Nutrition guidelines in this country are insanely flawed. I hope you testified at congress!

How much protein per day? Is there an upper limit?

[donnabremner]

Disagree
Eat your vegetables first then protein. Will keep your glucose levels from spiking and feed your microbiome leading to a healthier gut👍

[debbiecoleman]

does she ever give the brand of protein powder she uses?

[tkorte]

It's easy. 2x300g lean ground beef, 2 eggs, 2x30g protein shakes, you'll have lots of protein even without the PB&banana and raw almond snacks.

[warrenhale]

You should start meals with vegetables 🥦 then protein ❤

[gregcastagneri]

Number one
Stop eating salads. Start with meat.

Made mabo tofu. Wasn't that nice. Maybe the type of tofu. Or else my digestion system doesn't like it.

[asenasah]

The face of body builders have this super masculine look like hers that i dont like. Great points for protein though.

[violetstudios]

High protein intake is extremely devastating to americans though? Review Dr. Campbells work on the China study, or any other analysis of other countries that have low rates of illness. Humans only need 5-6% protein, the same as rats. It is impossible to design a diet too low in protein as long as it has enough calories. Nathan pritikin realized this back in the 1950s, and Walter kempner fed people a diet of WHITE RICE to cure diabetes. I feel that your advice is harmful and I would really like an explanation. Thank you.

I don’t know I’ve watched you for a little bit and I’ve noticed that your face is becoming more almost like an anorexic looking face, but you’re obviously very muscular. I don’t know if this is a result of steroids. I’m not sure but you’re getting the creases around the mouth, the lack of any type of cushion substance below the skin. It’s looking very almost skeleton, like but not in a muscular way if that makes sense, and you might typically see it in one who has anorexia, but you seem to be very healthy. You follow healthy diet. You work out all the time you are very muscular. I just wonder if you use steroids too maybe this is a result of steroids, just something I’ve noticed that I’ve noticed in your face and how it’s changing.

Is it me or is there some cosmetic surgery going on here?
