Try one new protein source
Why is it important?
When it comes to weight loss and toning, protein is vital! Optimal protein consumption: ●Helps you to feel fuller longer
●Sustains muscle tissue
●Promotes muscle growth
●Improves the metabolism
●Promotes a lean physique
The amount of daily protein that’s generally recommended (0.36 g per pound) is the amount required to prevent a deficiency. However it is not the amount required to promote optimal wellbeing for someone on a training regimen (or around 0.64-0.9 g/lb). Without sufficient protein intake your body will not recover optimally from training sessions, you won’t be able to develop or sustain as much muscle tissue and your ability to see progress will suffer.
Protein is EXTREMELY important for optimal fitness and wellness. Protein is the building block of our bodies. Sufficient protein consumption promotes a healthy metabolism, satiety, high performance during movement based activity and optimal functioning!
One of the primary barriers to getting the amount of protein required to thrive on your fitness and wellness journey, is lacking a diverse inventory of protein rich foods to choose from. Incorporating a new protein source into your daily food intake will increase your inventory of foods to choose from, creating an environment that makes optimal protein consumption doable and sustainable.
What does it involve?
Try one new source of protein daily:
●Select 3 high protein foods (refer to this list for suggestions). Make sure you have access to these at home or on hand. Add at least 1 serving of one or more of these protein sources into your daily intake (refer to this pdf to find out what 1 serving of protein is for you).
How will I know I’ve done it properly?
This practice is about diversifying your protein options which will help you to sustainably increase your protein intake as you progress on your fitness and wellness journey. You’ll know that you’ve completed this practice when you’ve added at least 1 serving of this new protein source into your intake ona given day. When you’ve done that, you can mark this behavior as completed on your dashboard.
How do I know when it’s time to move on?
Remember, every new behavior has to be intentional before it becomes organic. So set up reminders, notes and positive triggers to help you to incorporate this new practice into your life. You’ll be ready to move to your next habit once you begin practicing this behavior consistently for 80% of a month.
Go and make space for BLAQUE movement!
