So, you know how we’re always talking about how to improve our diets and be healthier? Well, protein is a really important nutrient that we should be paying attention to. It helps build and repair our muscles, skin, and bones, and it’s also essential for keeping our immune system strong. Let’s take a moment to discuss what we know but then let’s go deeper and find that easy button, what do you say?
Ya’ know the stress-LESS way to attack the situation.
What We “Mostly” Know…
There are lots of ways to get more protein in our diets. Below I’m going to share some of my favorite protein-rich foods that I have incorporated into my diet but in general, foods that are high in protein include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. If you’re not a big fan of those foods, there are other options too. You could try protein shakes or bars, or even add protein powder to your smoothies or oatmeal in the morning.
But Can We Hit the Easy Button?
All this sounds good and fine but does anyone else struggle to find the time to exist, much less cook all this protein and stress over getting enough of it? Well, friend you are in good company. This is why I want to share how I started increasing my protein in EASY ways. Stress-LESS, friend, stress-LESS!

Takeaway…Make it Simple!
It’s important to remember that the amount of protein we need depends on factors like our weight and activity level. But a general rule of thumb is to aim for about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. However, people who engage in regular physical activity may require more protein to support their training and recovery. If you have concerns it is important to consult with your doctor or registered dietitian to determine the appropriate amount of protein for your individual needs.
What we need to takeaway from this convo is that the easier we make it the simpler it will be. Simple makes life easy! It’s a beautiful loop to jump into. By having protein snacks on hand you are able to make good decisions that end up leaving you fuller and happier longer. Taking care of your body’s daily needs.
