4 Sneaky Ways to Increase Your Protein Intake

We all know we need protein. 

 .75 - 1 gram per LB of body weight is shown to be super beneficial for fat loss, muscle mass, strength etc. 

Here’s a quick example…

• 120 lbs = 90-120 grams of protein per day 

• 160 lbs = 120-160 grams

• 200 lbs = 150-200 grams 

And so on! 

Sometimes, (especially for women) it can be really challenging to get all that protein in.

Today I'm sharing my favorite "sneaky" ways to get all your protein in for the day! 

1) Use Collagen powder 

Simply adding 2 scoops of collagen powder to your morning brew can add ~18 grams of protein! 

And don't worry, the powder is tasteless! 

2) Add an egg!

Simply adding an egg to a sandwich, or a bowl will add 5 grams of protein! 

If you focus on adding little amounts of protein like this to each meal, they will start to add up! 

3) Find a protein shake you actually like. 

This is my personal favorite protein. 

And with flavors like Peppermint Hot Chocolate, and Iced Coffee, these are shakes I actually enjoy drinking.

Each one has ~25 grams of protein

4) Add some breakfast meat! (or meat substitute!) 

Ideas:

-Turkey Bacon

-Turkey Sausage

-Veggie Sausage 

-Pork Bacon

-Pork Sausage

-Chicken Sausage 

-Turkey Sausage crumbles (my fave)

-Canadian Bacon

Just adding a couple pieces of these bad boys can add ~5-15 grams of protein to your morning!

So there you have it, my favorite "sneaky" ways to get more protein into your diet!

Hopefully this helps you reach your goal of .75-1 gram of protein per LB of body weight!
