]]>Opt for lean cuts of meat and poultry like chicken breast, turkey, or lean beef. Grilling, baking, or broiling these choices enhances flavor without adding unnecessary fats. Adding sausage (either chicken, beef, or veggie) to a sheet pan packed with vegetables to roast is a yummy volume and protein-packed easy meal.
Explore plant-based protein sources such as beans, lentils, and chickpeas. Adding these to soup or hummus to pasta are easy ways to make your meal more filling and nutritious. Another tip is to switch out your regular pasta and opt for protein or red lentil pasta instead.
Eggs are a protein-packed powerhouse and can be enjoyed in various forms—scrambled, boiled, or as an omelet. They also make for a quick and easy meal or snack.
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and milk are excellent dairy options rich in protein. Enjoy them on their own or use them as versatile ingredients in smoothies, parfaits, or savory dishes. A delicious snack is low-fat greek yogurt with peanut butter and chocolate chips. Finding frozen greek yogurt bars such as Yasso can be a great ice cream sweet treat alternative.
Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, chia seeds, or pumpkin seeds, add a delightful crunch and protein punch to salads, yogurts, or as standalone snacks.
These soy-based alternatives are not only versatile but also excellent sources of plant-based protein. Incorporate them into stir-fries, curries, salads, or pasta for a nutrient-rich meal.
By embracing these protein-packed options, you’ll not only enhance the nutritional value of your meals but also promote muscle health, satiety, and overall vitality. Fuel your body with the goodness it deserves, one protein-rich bite at a time.

]]>Protein is an important nutrient that helps us build muscle and gives us energy. A breakfast of pancakes and waffles covered in syrup might taste good, but those carbs don’t keep the body satiated for a very long time. Sugar and carbs give the body a fast boost in energy.
The body can digest the simple carbs fast. Immediately after consuming them, the body feels ready to go. But just like the body receives carbohydrates quickly, it also uses them quickly. As soon as the supply runs out, the body may experience symptoms like a headache caused by a sudden blood sugar drop.
This is why including protein is so important. Protein digests slower in the body and our body takes longer to convert it into energy. As a result of this, it gives the body a more stable source of energy – a more gradual rise and fall that will keep the blood sugar more stable.

]]>Prepare two different types of protein for the week—it doesn’t have to be chicken and fish or meat and fish, it can be as simple as chicken cooked two different ways with two different sauces. You’ll want some variety when meal planning, so prepare some breasts for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and some thighs and legs for Tuesday and Thursday. The same goes for whole grains—you won’t want rice every night, so mix it up with some whole-grain pasta, quinoa, bulgar, or millet. These will last in the fridge for five days.
Cut up your vegetables for the week. What puts most people off is the constant chopping before each meal which takes longer than eating. So while your whole grains and proteins are cooking, start chopping. Keep them all in sealed containers in the fridge so you can just throw them in a salad or the oven when you come home from a busy day.
Make overnight oats for breakfast. This is a one-and-done prep that can last five mornings and is so filling and delicious that you won’t even need to think about what to eat. And you can add anything you want on top. All you need is a bag of oats and some yogurts—we suggest the high-protein ones. Then add your milk of choice, chia seeds (if you want), and maple syrup or honey. You will have a meal filled with all the nutrients you need. You can make it in a large bowl or put it in individual mason jars.

Seeds can also do wonders for the protein content of your smoothies, and it doesn’t get much better than hemp seeds since they contain 10 grams of protein per three tablespoons.
If you want smoothies without dairy milk, but feel like water isn’t a good replacement, plant-based milk is your best bet. Soy milk is one of the most popular alternatives, and it doesn’t hurt its case that it’s also protein-rich.
Greek yogurt is another protein-rich ingredient that you can use as a liquid base. In addition to making your smoothies creamy and delicious, plain, non-fat Greek yogurt will also up their protein content.

]]>The post How Much Rest Does Your Body Actually Need Between Strength Workouts? appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>There’s one question that millions of people have asked but have never received a clear answer to: how much rest do you actually need in between strength workouts?
Self-proclaimed fitness experts will tell you different things, but something that almost everyone agrees on is the fact that rest between workouts is a must, especially when they’re heavy strength routines.
“Recovery is one of the most important aspects of a successful training regimen, but for some reason, it’s commonly overlooked,” John Gallucci, Jr., D.P.T., president of a physical therapy company, shared. “Especially after intense or prolonged training, your body needs time to repair tissues that have broken down.”
What causes much of the confusion regarding the importance of rest are some commonly shared myths like “rest causes strength loss and defeats progress” or that “rest is a waste of time”.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BdBRhA9hld-/?hl=en&tagged=fitness
The reason rest is so vital is that the body actually undergoes a lot of stress during strength workouts.
Muscles develop what are called micro-tears and need to restore and rebuild the damaged muscle fibers with special cells and protein. When all is said and done, the muscle actually ends up growing in size and strength.
“During the recovery process, blood carries the nutrients needed to repair these muscles, and rest allows the fibers to heal stronger than they were before the physical activity,” explained Gallucci.

“Recovery time will vary depending on how your workouts are split up,” Jen Jewell, a certified personal trainer, commented.
She says that if you’re splitting muscle groups into individual days, you can train up to 5-6 days in a row before needing to rest since you’re giving each muscle group a break after each workout anyways.
On the contrary, if you’re doing all upper body muscles one day and all lower body muscles on another day, then Jewell says you need at least 1-2 rest days before repeating the same workout.
Jewell stresses common sense in determining how much rest you need between workouts.
“You have to remember to listen to your body,” Jewell says. “If your calendar says it’s time to train lower body again and you’re still having a hard time walking up and down a flight of stairs, wait an extra day before working your lower body again.
Follow these tips and you’re sure to have even more success in your workout routines!
