Divide your protein intake. Rather than drinking a super-duper protein shake in the morning and then noshing on fruit, veggies and whole grains the rest of the day, divide your protein up into your meals and snacks. This doesn’t have to be exact and it can change based on your meal plan for the day. Here’s how it could look:
Protein Goal | Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner | Each Snack (3) |
60 | 14 grams | 14 grams | 14 grams | 6 grams |
75 | 18 grams | 18 grams | 18 grams | 7 grams |
90 | 22 grams | 22 grams | 22 grams | 8 grams |
110 | 26 grams | 27 grams | 27 grams | 10 grams |
