Protein is the thing most people think they are eating enough of and are not.
You do not need to love chicken breast to fix it. You need a short list of things you actually like.
(General nutrition information, not medical advice. Check labels, because brands vary a lot.)
Breakfast
- Eggs. A large egg is about 6g of protein.
- Greek yogurt. Plain nonfat is roughly 10g per 100g.
- Cottage cheese, about 11g per 100g.
Snacks
- Greek yogurt with fruit.
- A protein shake. Most scoops land in the 20-25g range, but check your tub.
- Jerky, edamame, a hard-boiled egg.
Lunch and dinner
- Chicken, sure, but also fish, lean beef, tofu, lentils, beans.
- Add protein to what you already eat, rather than rebuilding every meal.
