Firstly, keep with the protein but let me share what I’ve learnt from past mistakes.
I thought eating clean, protein and veg was the answer.
1. Choose protein that isn’t high in fat, if you’re trying to get lean, you need to be in a calorie deficit.
30g of peanut butter = 700 calories 😩
30g of cheddar cheese = 600 calories
30g lean mince = 215 calories
30g of chicken beast = 137 calories
30g of tofu = 30 calories
2. You need to eat it with a good carb source such as beans, grains, fibre for it to be absorbed.
3. Drink enough water and eat veg with it for maximum benefit.
4. Don’t skip breakfast, start your day with a protien source, to lower blood sugars which are high in the morning. cramming it all in at your evening meal won’t make up for not eating any during the day. It will also help reduce cravings all day.
5. Green yogurt with cottage cheese is my new favourite and it’s high in lean protein.
6. Aim for at least 100g per day.
