Getting in enough protein per day is hard
Especially as a female on low calories
But with a set routine and some extra know-how on what foods to include, it can actually be simple to do
Let's start with breakfast...if you're fasting in the morning for some reason...you will have to catch up later in the day BUT
Start your day with protein - eggs, protein shake, beans etc. We aren't chefs but its simple to do scrambled eggs, beans on toast or cereal with a protein shake
Easy
Lunch...focused on protein. Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Lean Beef
With salad, veggies, couscous, potato wedges, rice, pasta etc.
Evening meals are probably the easiest to do because it's mainly family meals based on protein.
It's where most people get their only source of protein.
Snacks are a great way of increasing daily protein intake in a small quick snack
For example...protein shakes, protein yoghurts, boiled eggs, protein bars, fruit, nuts (go easy)
Once you get ahead of the game with the food choices, you can distribute them across the day.
Don't worry too much about timing but spread your meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to help with hunger.
Don't make it too complicated, hence why this was quite short and to the point.
Hope that helps - get stuck in
