Three easy ways to get your protein intake in ✅
👉When eating a meal, eat your protein FIRST
When eating a meal, eat the protein source first, especially before you get to the starches. This allows the food to go down better and reduce the pressure on your stomach. A high protein intake decreases levels of ghrelin, otherwise known as the “hunger hormone,” and increases your metabolic rate after eating which can in turn benefit your blood sugar and overall health.
👉Include a protein food in every meal
An easy way to increase your protein intake is to include a food that is high in protein in every meal, so you’ll be increasing your intake without realising it! If you’re struggling for ideas here is some inspiration to get you started:
Eggs
Meat
Almonds
Greek yoghurt
Quinoa
👉Eat more wholegrains
Whole grains are rich in important nutrients, including fiber which increases your protein intake as well as improves your overall health.
Try out these three top tips on how to increase your protein intake and you will soon see the health benefits that these small lifestyle changes and implementations will have on your body. 💪
