    How much protein could u absorb at one time ? Do u eat protein every three hours? I try to eat a lot of protein but my protein numbers are low around 5.0-6

    • @skrefurbishedinteriors says:

      There is a protein threshold depending on how active and heavy you are, also be careful as too much protein can be stored as fat. So all in the search bar u will be amazed by the knowledge ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  • @deannabarnes3771 says:

    Good info to consider

  • @mrscf8865 says:

    Greek yogurt, tuna and sweetcorn with a bit of cayenne pepper, tiny bit of salt is delicious

  • @mrscf8865 says:

    I’ve just started buying unflavoured whey protein. What I do is add to it what I want in the quantities I want. I often add peanut butter powder, 100% cocoa, cinnamon is lovely. Then add some erythritol sweetener. To me it’s a lot more tastier doing it this way and I know what’s in it!!

  • @LR-sm7sw says:

    Do the protein quantities you talk about for meat and fish change during the cooking process and if so do I use the cooked or uncooked weight? Thx

    • @MelissaNeill says:

      Yes, the protein quantities can change due to cooking. When measuring protein intake, it’s generally best to use the weight of the food before cooking, as cooking can alter the weight and nutrient density of the food.

  • @kimtilley7936 says:

    Soy products are also a great source of protein. Tofu, soy milk and tempeh.
    I make a shake with 100g silken tofu, 100g Greek yoghurt, large hand full of berries, 1 cup soy milk and vanilla protein powder. Its really yummy ๐Ÿ˜Š

  • @Leaffycottage says:

    I have overnight oats with Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, banana and peanut butter and Iโ€™m really full afterwards, and Iโ€™m a terrible snacker.

  • @simonearchibald295 says:

    They say that callogen is an incomplete protein.

  • @deegee6868 says:

    Great info! I just added collagen to my coffee! I also put protein powder in my coffee!!

  • @cherylkillam7466 says:

    Awesome video, thank you so much. I am only recently beginning to realize how important protein is.

  • @sarahhenderson1932 says:

    Thank you for another great video!
    If you can handle dairy, cottage cheese with a few berries on top is another great protein.

  • @carpdiem77 says:

    Great tips! I just started my journey of increasing protein intake for body re-composition. Here are a few additional ways to increase protein intake into my daily nutrition that I employ:

    1. I have integrated cottage cheese into my diet (I use Daisy brand low fat version – I choose to get my healthy fats from other sources like olive oil, avocado, etc). I use cottage cheese to make protein ice creams, to make scrambled eggs and omelets, smoothies, and puddings.

    2. I make a pudding-like dessert with equal parts cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, scrambled eggs (3 eggs and 1 cup egg whites), vanilla extract (non-alcohol version), and monk fruit sweetener drops and Stevia drops (to taste) and pulse lightly to make a pudding texture. This is a great power house of protein because my protein powder is 21 grams of protein, my cottage cheese is 13 grams of protein per serving, and my Greek yogurt is 18 grams of protein per serving.

    3. I incorporate 1 cup of organic beef bone broth (Trader Joe’s) into my smoothies or protein shakes and that adds an additional punch of protein (10 grams). Don’t worry the smoothie doesn’t taste like beef. LOL!.

    4. I make a protein ice cream by basically using the recipe I listed in tip #2, but I add a small amount of berries then put the mixture in the freezer (it will get hard and need to sit out a little to defrost and be stirred a little to make it creamy) or I eat it right away. When I want to be indulgent and higher carb I make this with cherries, which are higher in sugar, but SOOOO delicious. A trick I learned when I opt to use a more high sugar fruit is to eat his right after a high protein meal and the sugar spikes won’t be as high. Hope this helps!!
