How much protein are you eating?

 

Hi Guys!

Are you eating your protein? 

Protein is essential for burning fat and building muscle. Making sure you get enough protein to support your muscles is key to building lean muscle. It depends exactly what your goals are. You should aim for about 1g per lb you weigh. For example if I weigh 125 lbs, then I should eat at least 125 grams of protein daily.

 

 

Here's what chicken does: with  about 17 grams of protein per 3 oz. along with essential vitamins and nutrients, just one serving can net you most the protein your body needs.


Here are other proteins for you to try:

Shrimp- 4oz =24 g. protein  112 calories

Beans-red,black,navy,lima,pinto,etc.- 1 cup=15 g.protein 225 calories
