Ways to get in protein requirements


Often times I am asked how do I get in ALL of my protein? What do I eat? How do I have time to prep and prepare healthy meals? I saw these at Sam's several weeks ago. I purchased the beef and chicken. I absolutely  LOVE  Mexican food. So I decided to make these at home. 3 ounces is 16 grams of protein. I take them and add some  onions, bell peppers, and create a stir fry. I have also taken some of the meat, and placed it in  an egg omlet with a lil bit of salsa and sour cream. Another idea is to make a small salad, I took chicken fajita meat, feta cheese, lettuce, and black olives and made a small  side salad. A delicious protein packed  meal in a snap!!!

However, I will continue to put one foot in the front of the other one and continue to move forward‼️

Meal prep

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
