Written by I’ve been struggling with protein intake. It’s really hard to only eat 1500 calories before exercise a day and still get enough protein and not eat any red meat. So today, I had Greek yogurt for the first time. It tastes just like sour cream only its healthy. So much so that I thought to myself I could totally make nachos and dip them in this instead of sour cream, only to realize I’m not allowed to eat nachos anymore. So this is now going into my protein shakes instead of that second cup of milk. It’s a great addition because it increases protein per shake by 15g. I have 2-3 a day so that puts me at an additional 30-45g of protein. So now, each day, I should be ingesting 170-180 grams of protein. It’s a lot. Someone my height and weight trying to lose a pound or two a weel should only be eating 50g, but I’m trying to build muscle, so the more protein the better I suppose!
