]]>Spinach
This green vegetable is great at not only boosting your strength but defending your body against harm. Filled with zinc and fiber, spinach helps to detoxify your body and balance your metabolism. Due to containing a high level of antioxidants, spinach will help to decrease muscle soreness and improve recovery after your workout. There are also plenty of recipes that include spinach, from pasta to curry.
Salmon
Protein is an essential part of any bodybuilder or gymgoer’s diet. There is perhaps no healthier source of protein than fish such as salmon. This fish possesses anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids that will reduce post-workout muscle soreness while the protein itself will help to build muscle during your workout.
Chickpeas
Containing both protein and carbohydrates, chickpeas prove beneficial both during and after your workout. They contain a high amount of iron that will help to improve your oxygen flow as well as endurance and overall performance.

]]>Seafood
Full of protein and low in fat, seafood is a food group that should be at our tables much more often. Even if you pick fish that’s higher in fat, like salmon, that’s the good kind of fat that you should be eating more of.

(@mahimarket_net)Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive and most convenient ways to get more protein. You can make them in many different ways and enjoy breakfast or dinner nearly on a daily basis.
Cheese
Cheese and other dairy products are excellent sources of protein, calcium, and many have added vitamin D. Full-fat versions can be high in calories, so consume them in moderation!

]]>Swap Popcorn For Cheese
Most people eat popcorn or chips when watching a movie, but have you considered some other healthy options? For example, serving a nice cheese plate instead of unhealthy snacks is an easy way to eat more protein.
Swap Juice For Milk
Juices usually contain lots of sugar, so it’s always better to drink a glass of milk instead because milk is not only a good source of protein, it’s also packed with calcium and other important nutrients.
(@annalenasbakery)Swap Cereal For Eggs
Cereal is a popular breakfast, and we all know it tastes awesome. But for a nutritious and protein-rich meal, eating eggs is usually the better choice.
Swap Regular Yogurt For Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is not only high in probiotics, calcium and Vitamin B, it also packs twice as much protein compared to regular yogurt.
Swap Regular Salad For Protein-Rich Salads
Most veggies are not very high in protein, so when preparing a salad try to add more protein-rich foods such as chicken, sliced turkey, chickpeas, cheese, or tofu.

]]>Use a Good Quality Blender
Invest in a good quality blender. It might be expensive, but it will do the job and last you a long time. Always keep in mind: the stronger the blender, the better.

Adding vegetables into your smoothie adds nutrition and fiber. Spinach, celery, and cucumber are great choices. Ginger and parsley are perfect for soothing your stomach.
Invest in Good Quality Protein Powder
When buying a protein powder, always check the ingredients. Look for the ones that are 100 percent whey, egg-white, or casein protein. Also, choose one that’s low in carbohydrates.
Always Have Frozen Fruits In Your Freezer
Frozen fruits usually have more nutrition that the fresh fruit.
It's the perfect way to press 'pause' on your fresh food to make it last even longer and stop it from being wasted 
You can enjoy fruit straight from the freezer with some ice-cream or yoghurt, or blend it into a delicious smoothie for an on-the-go treat

]]>High Protein Foods
The best advice for getting sufficient protein is to eat lots of high protein foods. High protein animal products include eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. For plant-based, you can have lentils, beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, oats, almonds, chickpeas, or quinoa.
[#ad] One of my favourite quick weeknight dinners often includes some sort of stir fry. Inspired by delicious fall veggies, I made this roasted butternut squash stir fry and WOW did this ever turn out amazing. The addition of a runny yolk mixed with a salty/spicy sauce gave it the BEST flavour 
I *try* to ensure all my meals include veggies, complex carbs & proteins. Whenever I’m stuck on what protein to use, I ALWAYS turn to eggs {no matter the time of day!}. They are an easy, affordable & super nutritious addition to any meal 
Ingredients: 1 small butternut squash 2 packs ramen noodles @lotusfoodscanada is my fav 2 eggs Green onion {optional} For the sauce: 1/4 cup tamari, 2 tbsp veg broth, 2 tsp rice vinegar, 2 garlic cloves minced, 1 tsp coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp chili flakes, salt & pepper Details: • peel & chop butternut squash, toss with oil, salt & pepper; roast at 400 for 30 mins + 2 min broil • boil water in a small saucepan & add eggs; boil for 5.5 mins, remove & place into an ice bath • combine sauce ingredients • cook ramen noodles per instructions, drain & toss with sauce & squash • peel & slice eggs • divide into bowls & garnish with green onion & chili flakes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #happyandfull #EggsAnytime #eggs #dinner #dinnerideas #dinnertime #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #delicious #easyrecipes #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #dairyfree #glutenfree #realfood #wholefoods #homemade #nomnom #eeeeeats #foodporn #yolkporn #eattherainbow #eatyourveggies #nutrition #balaceddiet #recipeshare #foodspirationAnimal or Plant-Based?
Plant-based protein is better for the environment and some would say is more ethical. However, it’s not quite as good at building and maintaining muscle as protein from animal products. If you eat a plant-based diet, the best advice is variety. Eat lots of different kinds of protein-rich foods!
fact: you can easily meet all your nutrient requirements by sticking to the basics. Forget superfoods and loads of supplements. Forget fancy protein powders. Forget expensive health food products. Forget complicated rules or micromanaging everything. Sure you can totally include these things if you like + enjoy them, by all means. But they aren’t necessary to be healthy. Sometimes, simple is best!
Here’s an example of a breakfast that’s a great balance of complex carbs, protein + healthy fats. It’s high in fibre and a good source of omega 3s, antioxidants, calcium, iron, B vitamins, vitamin C + plenty of other nutrient goodness. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s simple, it’s delicious. No fuss needed! 
oats with flaxmeal + cinnamon cooked in soy milk, topped with banana, peanut butter and strawberries 
Protein Shakes
Protein shakes are convenient and effective. You can tailor the amounts of protein to your workouts and they are quick and easy. But they are only effective if you have been working out regularly for some weeks.

Don’t Over Do It
Protein shakes aren’t a substitute for real food. They are only a supplement for those athletes you do regular hard workouts. The body cannot digest too much protein. It’s best to stick to high priotein nutritious food.

]]>The post Why Eating Insects Might Be Your New Favorite Source of Protein appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>High Protein
Studies show that some insects actually have higher levels of protein than many meat products. While the protein level does vary between insect species, the best are crickets, some ant species, and mealworms.
#getyourprotein #crickets #cricketsaretasty #eatcrickets #protein #bbqcricket #bodybuilding #instabodybuilding #bodybuilder #fitness #goodfood #crickets #cricketmatch #cricketlove #eatingcrickets #croydonfoodies #croydon #foodielife #loveeating #instacricket #instapic #konstantinkonstantinovs #foodlover #foodgram #foodgoals#cricketsaretastyAlternative to Meat and Dairy
One reason for the rising popularity of insects is that they provide an alternative protein source to animal products. As many people are concerned about the treatment of animals in the production of dairy and meat, insects serve as an ethical alternative.
Environmentally Friendly
Farming and eating bugs has significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than farming cattle.
Interesting Flavors
In the insect world, there are a surprising variety of flavors. You can find flies that taste like blue cheese, ants with a lemony zest, and giant water bugs that taste like watermelon candy.
Easy to Use
You can bake cricket powder into cakes and breads, or fry mealworms in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This healthy snack is rich in protein, amino acids, and fiber.

]]>Lentils
Lentils are one of the best plant-based sources of protein. Packed full of protein and fiber, you can cook them in curries, have them with potatoes or rice, or mix them in refreshing salads.
Things that can impact your satiety/meal satisfaction: 
Protein: Did you swap enough plant based proteins in place of animal proteins? Swapping steak out for 2 tbsp of beans, that’s just not going to cut it. Aim for 3 servings of good quality plant protein per day (beans, lentils, tofu, seitan, and/or vegan meats). 
Calories: Plant foods can sometimes have bigger volume with not as much calories. If you’re under eating, your body is going to tell you. 
Fiber: If you get full fast with plant foods, you might need to spread your meals out and incorporate some snacks in between to make sure you’re getting everything you need. I think this is why I love buddha bowls, because I can see if I’m hitting all the right marks. In my bowl I have some lentils cooked in veggie broth, pickled cabbage, roasted sweet potato and squash, quinoa and some maple mustard dressing made from cashew yogurt. Maple Mustard Dressing 1 tbsp plant based yogurt (I used @foragerproject) 2 tsp Dijon Mustard 2 tsp maple syrup 2 tsp apple cider vinegar Salt & pepper to taste Whisk everything together and adjust seasonings to your preference. Tofu
This vegan classic is a great way to enjoy delicious plant-based meals with high protein. Marinate, fry with vegetables, or scramble into a curry, tofu is a must-have.
Who’d you share it with? Get the recipe: BBQ Tofu: 1 servings of extra or super firm tofu 1- 2 tbsp vegan BBQ sauce 1/2 tbsp avocado oil Slice tofu into slices (about 1/4 inch or 0.5 cm thick), lay them between 2 cutting boards and a clean kitchen or paper towel, put a heavy object on top and press for about 10 minutes to remove excess liquid. Heat up oil in a non stick pan (medium heat) and fry tofu slices for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Lower heat and pour BBQ sauce over the tofu to glaze the slices and cook them an additional minute each side. . . . #plantbasedprotein #vegansofig #plantbasedfood #vegans #plantbaseddiet #veganfoodporn #vegetarianfood #vegetarianrecipes #tofu #vegandinner #vegancomfortfood #veganeats #plantbase #plantbasedrecipe #plantbasedvegan #vegetarian #veganfriendly #whatveganseat #plantbasedrecipes #plantbasedfoods #veganfoodlovers #veganfoodie #veganfood #veganfoodshare #plantbasedfoodie #plantbasedeating #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #veganlunchPumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds make the perfect vegan snack. High in protein and good fatty acids, they can be eaten on their own or sprinkled on a salad.

Protein is a crucial component in the muscle building and retaining process. You want muscle (if you are a woman, don’t worry, you won’t get bulky, I promise 
) not just for the visual appeal, but for the many health/performance benefits as well. . . . Fun fact… the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn just existing, as it will improve your metabolism.. this is a nice plus! . . . 
Protein is also the most filling and satiating macronutrient, which is a big positive when you are restricting your calorie intake (trying to lose body fat). Staying full for longer will keep you from sneaking back into the kitchen all the time. . . . 
The thermic effect of protein is a big plus.. Your body has to burn more calories to digest protein then any other macronutrients, which is definitely a great thing. . . . Here is few tips to help you eat more protein: . . . 1⃣ Protein at every meal. . . 2⃣ Choose eggs over cereal. . . 3⃣ Add some protein powder into your oats and smoothies. . . 4⃣ Incorporate Greek Yogurt in your diet. . . 5⃣ Keep easy protein snacks handy (protein shake, can of tuna, protein bar, boiled eggs…) . . 6⃣ Include more protein plant base in your diet (beans, broccoli, peas, spinach, soy ….) . . . Do you eat enough protein on daily basis? . . . #protein #proteinforfatloss #proteinpowder #proteinforvegetarians #proteinformuscles #proteinsnacks #proteinmeals #fatlosstips #weightlosstipsandtricks #nutritionfacts #nutritiontips #anytimefitnessredbankplains #blackbeltprotein @blackbelt_proteinThere are various types of protein powder on the market made with different protein sources and different amino acid profiles. Make sure to buy quality protein, treat the powder like anything else you put in your body. Check the label for sugars or other unnecessary fillers and focus on whether it mixes well and tastes good. You don’t want to invest in a large packet of protein powder that you don’t enjoy.
Whole Milk/Whey Protein
Whole milk protein contains whey and casein which are very high-quality sources of protein. Whey provides a fast-digestion protein that muscles can benefit from quickly and casein can slow digestion and keep you feeling fuller for longer. This protein is good for those wanting to lose weight.
What flavour is your Protein? 
Vegan Protein
Soy protein powder contains all of the nine essential amino acids. Hemp protein has a high nutritional profile and is almost a complete protein, but it does tend to be high in fat. Pea protein should be mixed with brown rice protein as it is deficient in cysteine and methionine amino acids.

]]>Sunflower Seeds
Just one ounce of sunflower seeds contains six grams of vegan-friendly protein, as well as Vitamin E and magnesium. Costing only around $2 per pound, this is a cost-effective way to get protein in your diet.
Black Beans
Costing only about $1 for 15 ounces, black beans are packed full of protein and fiber. Add them to a chili or a salad and get a massive protein boost.
Peanut Butter
Rich in protein and costing only around $2.50 per 16 ounces, peanut butter is a cheap and effective way to slip protein into your diet.
Eggs
Along with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats, eggs are full of protein. Costing only between $2-$4 per dozen, eating eggs daily will ensure strong amounts of protein.
Plain Greek Yogurt
Oddly enough, yogurt is an excellent source of protein. Greek yogurt is a versatile option that can be eaten plain, whipped up into a tasty dip, or sweetened with honey and lemon.
In our humble opinion, it’s superior to and easier to make than its fellow Middle Eastern pals hummus or baba ganoush
High quality extra virgin olive oil and good za’atar are non-negotiable toppings
