Adding Protein to Your Diet Easily
In this video, the speaker discusses how difficult it can be to get enough protein in your diet and provides a list of easy-to-prepare foods that can help you add over 100 grams of protein to your daily intake.
Egg Whites
- Egg whites are an excellent source of protein because they contain about 4 grams of protein per egg white with no carbs or fats.
- Liquid egg whites are even more convenient as they can be poured directly onto a frying pan and cooked in under five minutes. One cup of egg whites contains 26 grams of protein.
- Having a carton of liquid egg whites in your fridge is recommended for quickly adding additional protein to your daily total.
Canned Fish
- Tuna is an excellent source of protein, with one can containing about 25 grams. It's also very convenient as it can be taken anywhere and eaten easily.
- Flavored tuna packets are even easier and more palatable, containing only about 4 grams of combined fats and carbs for 17 grams of protein per packet.
Protein Powder
- Whey and casein are the two most common types of dairy-based protein powders. Whey digests faster, making it ideal for post-workout consumption, while casein has a slower digestion rate, making it a better meal replacement option.
- Other types of protein powders include beef, pea, rice, and egg proteins. Skim milk or natural peanut butter/dried peanut powder can be added to increase the amount of protein in a shake.
- Protein powder can also be used to replace some ingredients in high-carb meals to turn them into high-protein meals. However, it's important to still consume a variety of real foods for their micronutrients.
Conclusion
- Adding protein to your diet can be difficult, but these easy-to-prepare foods and supplements can help you meet your daily protein needs.
- Protein powder is probably the easiest way to add protein to your diet, but it's important to still consume a variety of real foods for their micronutrients.
