Don't forget the protein
Make sure to include a lean protein source at every meal. Shoot for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. By eating enough protein, you will keep your nitrogen levels high which supports muscular repair and growth. Protein has thermogenic effect of 30% which makes it the highest thermogenic food compared to all other nutrients. This means that for every 100 calories of protein you eat, 30 calories are burned by your body to digest the food leaving you with a net 70 calories. Here are a few quick and healthy protein packed snacks:
Black bean and albacore tuna (water packed)
(Mix a can of each and microwave.)
Protein powder and non-fat cottage cheese
(Mix a scoop of protein with a cup of cottage cheese.)
Protein bars
(Choose one with at least 20 grams of protein, a maximum of 5 grams of sugar and 300 calories. Throw a box in the freezer and they will make a great snack. They’re really good for hitting that sweet tooth late at night.)
GeniSoy Soy Crisps
(The perfect richly seasoned, low-fat baked alternative to traditional high-fat chips. Each serving contains a unique blend of soy and rich offering 7 grams of soy protein and a surprisingly low 2 grams of fat.)
