Protein mistakes?

Getting enough protein? We need protein, fat and carbs at every meal. Protein is essential! We can’t consume all our daily protein in one meal as we can only absorb so much at a time. Many people don’t get enough protein -especially at breakfast and lunch. It varies in terms of individual needs but approx 20-30g per meal should be about right. It isn’t easy to get enough at breakfast. It doesn’t have to be the perfect amount but just be mindful to include good sources with each meal. Animal sources are most absorbable and have broader range of amino acids (the nutrients that protein provides) but plant sources will have that fibre piece -so aim for a mix. Breakfast: Add nuts and seeds Include eggs Ensure yoghurt is a good level of protein (5% fat gives 9% protein🙌🏻) -check label Breakfast can be anything -get your protein and fibre even if it’s a quirky food choice! Lunch: Consider salads or ‘Buddha bowls’ where you include a good handful of protein like chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, tofu plus your veg etc. Including pulses and beans gives extra protein plus fibre and micronutrients. If you buy a sandwich -get some nuts, hummus or egg on the side. Make an open sandwich-double the topping. If vegetarian, ensure you’re not just eating vegetables and grains -include beans, pulses, nuts, seeds and tofu and use a combined approach.
