It’s Day 4 of our Challenge! You’re crushing it, team protein! Before we wrap up tomorrow, I want to give you more tips and meal ideas to keep your momentum going after the Challenge. ✨
How to Make Protein a Habit
- Stock up weekly. Keep things easy and interesting by loading up on a variety of protein-packed foods, such as poultry, fish, tofu, beans, legumes, eggs, and nuts.
- Start each day right. If you begin the day with a protein-packed meal, you’re less likely to get hungry and have cravings that throw you off course.
- Build your meals around large protein portions. Make protein the main event and create each meal and snack around it.
- Keep protein-rich snacks on hand. If you keep protein snacks with you, you’ll always be ready to prevent hangry cravings.
- Simplify with sheet pan meals. Sheet pan recipes make high-protein cooking easy. Look for recipes that are packed with protein––or just bump up the protein amount in the recipe. I’ve included a great sheet pan recipe here! 😋
MEAL IDEAS ✨
You have your Meal Plans from Day 1, but how about more ideas to help you hit your daily 100g? 🍽️
Mix-n-Match: Protein + Healthy Carb + Veggies
A simple way to create a high-protein meal is to start with a hearty portion of protein, pair it with a whole grain or root vegetable, and add as many veggies as you like. For example:
- Salmon + sweet potato + steamed broccoli
- Grilled chicken + quinoa + roasted vegetables
- Stir-fried tofu + brown rice + mixed veggies
