How To Easily Eat 150 grams of Protein a Day
Neglecting your protein intake needs to STOP!
Getting people to eat enough protein is often the most challenging part of my job
And I get it…
It’s not the most palatable macronutrient
Fun fact: I used to HATE protein! 🤮
I could barely consume 100g a day. Before I tracked my food, I was lucky to have consumed 50g a day (no wonder I wasn’t seeing any changes in my body).
But after enough time, practice and with the change in my taste buds, it’s pretty easy to consume 150g a day now
If you are someone who thinks that counting just calories & eating like a bird is going to get you the results you want, but you’ve been spinning your wheels… you may want to reconsider your approach
Quite often the struggle to consume enough protein is the missing component
Regardless if you are trying to lose weight, build muscle or get strong… Neglecting your protein needs to stop
Not all calories we eat are equal. There’s this concept known as the thermic effect of food (TEF), which is basically the calories burned from what we eat
When it comes to fat & carbs, your TEF for fats are only 2-3% & carbs are 6-8%. You still burn calories during the digestion of fats & carbs, but it's not even close nor comparable to the calories burned from consuming protein, which is around 25%
This is why when people tell you to "just eat less" to lose weight, it’s not 100% accurate. If you eat less protein, you actually make it harder to lose weight. However, if you replace some fat & carbs with protein, you should make it easier to lose weight, even if you eat the same amount of food (calories).
This is just one of MANY reasons why protein is so important when we are trying to make body composition changes
Seems like a no brainer to start making it more of a priority… wouldn’t you agree? 🧐
