100G+ PROTEIN IN A FEW DAYS!

Everything I ate in a couple of days to nourish my body with balanced, flavorful meals that also help me hit my protein goals :)

If you’re in your protein packed era and are looking for new meal ideas… this post is here to help you! Eating in a protein forward way is great for your muscle growth, hair health, skin glow, nails, energy levels and hormone balance, and I feel like a lot of people struggle with knowing how to actually get to 100G/day, so hopefully this will help you find some new recipe inspiration.

My big philosophy with food is:

1. Make it easy - If it’s easy, you’ll be more likely to stick with the habit and develop consistency

2. Make it delicious - It’s way easier to be consistent when the food you eat actually is enjoyable to eat.

3. Make it balanced with protein, healthy fats, and fiber – this helps balance your blood sugar and make sure you stay energized for hours and rely less on constant snacking (which isn’t great for your overall digestion and gut health!)
