Protein for the win

I don’t eat enough protein and since I skipped breakfast I thought I’d make a fulfilling lunch that would keep me full for hours;

3 large eggs 210 total cals and 18 grams of protein

A cheddar jalapeño sausage link 210 cals and 9 grams of protein

half a cucumber for water retention

And a avocado for nutrients

totaling out at 27 grams of protein pretty much already hitting my protein goal for the day!

... Read moreProtein is essential for various bodily functions, including muscle repair and immune support. Many people struggle to meet their daily protein needs, especially when busy. Incorporating high-protein foods like eggs, lean meats, and dairy can boost your intake easily. Consider adding additional protein sources to your meals, such as Greek yogurt, legumes, or protein shakes. Planning your meals ahead can also help you maintain a balanced diet. It's beneficial to aim for a variety of protein sources throughout the day to ensure you're receiving all necessary amino acids. By making small changes to your lunch or breakfast, you can achieve a higher protein intake, helping with weight management and energy levels.
