Getting Started

  • Prioritize lean protein sources: Choose chicken breast, fish, lean ground meats, eggs, and legumes for efficient protein intake.
  • Measure portions: Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups to accurately track protein servings, especially when starting.
  • Prep ahead: Cook larger batches of protein (e.g., grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs) on weekends to integrate into weekday meals easily.
  • Combine protein with fiber: Pair protein sources with vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to enhance satiety and nutrient absorption.
  • Read labels: Check nutrition labels for protein content per serving to make informed choices, particularly with processed foods.
