5 tips to increase your protein:
01. Divide your protein goal for the day into the number of meals
and snacks you will be consuming. So for example, if you’re
having three meals a day and your protein goal is 120 g, your
protein goal for each meal will be 40 g of protein.
02. Take the current protein sources you’re consuming and
increase the portion size of each. If you’re having 4 oz of chicken,
increase to 5 oz of chicken. You’ll be surprised how much this will
increase your protein intake each day without feeling like you’re
eating that much more at every meal.
03. Prep a couple sources of protein at the start of the week you
can have on hand to throw into quick lunches: on top of salads, or
rice bowls- and use for quick dinners.
04. Make sure you always have protein on hand in the freezer
ready to be thawed. I like to have frozen wild caught salmon, wild
caught scallops, chicken tenderloins and shrimp on hand.
05. Supplement with a clean protein powder you can use to
create your own macro packed smoothies. Make sure it is grass
fed, gluten-free, dairy free, soy free, pea protein free (this can
increase bloating), and tasty!

Why is Protein so important?
Ladies in general and especially those with
Hypothyroidism/Hashimotos, listen up!
Most women I work with struggle eating the recommended
amount of protein for their goals and come to me with no idea
how much they should be eating.

I recommend starting your day with at least 25-30g of protein and
aim for that 3-4 times a day!!
