Protein! Protein! Protein! Everyone says we need to eat more but what should I eat? Eating more protein will help with weight loss. Why? It makes you feel full. When I was 300 pounds, I started drinking 4 proteci shakes a day. It filled me up and made me less hungry. Now, it was really hard to drink that much but it helped my weight loss. I lost 23 pounds in the first month. Now, I have two protein shakes a day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Generally, I rotate between chicken, fish and steak for lunch and dinner.
In the morning eggs and greek yogurt with blueberries. Two protein shakes/day. One after the workout and one after lunch.
Here is a cheat sheet on some protein:
1 large Egg - 6g of protein (I eat two)
Beef, 3 oz - 22 g of protein (lunch or dinner)
Beef Isolate Protein - 1 serving - 20g of protein (this is my protein shake)
Chicken Breast - 3 oz - 26g of protein
That's 100g of protein without my yogurt and nuts.
Plus 3 oz is a little small. If we double those, then it is 140g.
Other sources of protein:
Turkey - 3 oz, 24g
Cheese - 1 oz, 10g (I used to eat Babbles)
Cottage Cheese - 1 cup, 26g Salmon - 3 oz, 19g
Plain Greek Yogurt - 1 cup - 8g
Protein and weightloss go hand in hand.
