5 Easy Hacks to Get More Protein Into Your Diet

Are you always finding yourself low on protein at the end of the day?

Here are a few simple hacks to help you get in more protein without all the extra calories.

#1. Try to Eat a Source of Protein with Every Meal

A majority of people will track their food during the day and wait until their last meal to realize they are way behind on their protein. Cramming in a days worth of protein into one meal is not ideal, so we suggest that you include a source of protein in every meal to help ensure that at the end of the day you don't have an overwhelming amount of protein to consume.

#2. Swap Whole Eggs for Egg Whites

There is nothing wrong with eating the whole egg, but going for egg whites gets you more protein with less calories and less fats so you can spend them elsewhere through out your day.

#3. Swap out Your Yogurt for Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is packed with protein with minimal calories, making it a great snack choice!

#4. Supplement If Needed

If you are still struggling to get in enough protein, protein powder might be a good option to consider. Protein powder tastes great with morning smoothies and will also keep you fuller for longer.

#5. Know Your Sources

Its already hard enough to get your protein in and even harder if you aren't sure where to get your protein from. Here is a quick list of quick high protein foods.

Lean meat (chicken, turkey, lean beef)
Eggs
Shrimp, Clams, scallops
Greek Yogurt
Cottage Cheese
Tofu
Lentils
Protein Powder
