Struggling To Hit Your Protein Goals?
Read this…
Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair. It will aid your recovery after training sessions and ensure you get the best results possible. 1 gram of protein is 4 calories, it takes longer for the body to break down and therefore keeps you fuller for longer.
My top tricks:
-Fill your weekly shopping list with high protein foods
-Incorporate it into every meal
-Choose high protein snack alternatives
-Add in protein supplements
Protein powder contains around 25g protein per serving, I purchase mine from My Protein as get the isolate whey power either in chocolate smooth, white chocolate ( Great for ice coffee) or unflavoured which I can then add to smoothies.
Its great to add to oats, shakes and yogurts, super quick and simple.
