Struggling to hit your Protein goals?

Healthy Habits, Nutrition

Currently, I’m working with a super driven client who has been an active entrepreneur, trainer, and athlete for many years. He’s seeing a shift in his body and wanting to make changes and the first thing we noticed was a lack of protein intake.

Did you know that your parents actually need more protein than you do?

Why do you think that might be?

Because as much as we don’t want to think about it, they are starting to lose muscle mass and bone mass and so it’s more important that they eat adequate amounts of protein than even us !!!

So focusing on increasing serving sizes and aiming for around 40 g per serving is fantastic !

 

Each of these items is 40 grams of protein:

Chicken Breast cooked (5 ounces): 42 grams

Turkey Breast roasted (5 ounces): 40 grams

Steak (6 ounces): 42 grams

Hamburger (6 ounces) – 42 grams

Shrimp (7 ounces): 42 grams

Salmon (7 ounces): 40 grams

Tuna (8oz): 44 grams

Shredded Pork (10oz): 40 grams

Hard-Boiled Eggs (7 eggs) – 44 grams

Cottage Cheese (13 oz) 40 grams

Greek Yogurt (400 grams) 40 grams

Extra-Firm Tofu (15oz) 40 grams

Protein Shake – of course this depends on the brand (1.5 scoops) 40 grams

Plant Protein Shake (1.5 scoop) 40 grams
