Pro Tips & Cooking Tricks

1

Aim for 20-40g protein per meal - distributing intake throughout day optimizes muscle protein synthesis

2

Combine protein sources for complete amino acids - rice + beans, peanut butter + whole grain bread work together

3

Greek yogurt has 2x protein of regular - use it in smoothies, as sour cream substitute, or as breakfast base

4

Batch cook proteins weekly - grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and baked tofu ready for quick meals

5

Add protein powder to oatmeal, pancakes, and baking - sneaky way to boost protein without changing recipes much

6

Do not neglect plant proteins - lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, and edamame offer fiber bonus with their protein
