This shift in mindset will not happen overnight and you shouldn't expect it to. You have to work at it. You have to allow yourself to enjoy foods you love without the feeling guilty. Find your balance. Eat real foods and enjoy a homemade cookie!

5 Ways to Start Eating More Protein

Happy FriYAY! Anyone else planning on all things Fall this weekend? I’m kicking off the week with stuffed acorn squash for dinner! The recipe I use tastes like Thanksgiving. It’s delicious if that’s your jam. Anyway, I had a meeting of the minds this morning to discuss the 6-week Nutrition Challenge starting Monday and thought I would give you a sneak peek of some of the things you might learn during the challenge.

Most Americas don’t eat enough protein so when someone is just starting to count/track macros/food, in general, it’s usually the hardest macronutrient to hit. At least it was for me and a number of clients I’ve worked with. But after a few weeks, it gets easier and easier to hit number within 4/5 grams. So instead of spinning your wheels, here are some quick and easy ways to eat more protein.

5 Ways to Add more Protein to your Day

Coffee + Protein
If I’m not planning on a protein shake or smoothie I love adding a scoop of unflavored collagen peptides to my coffee. Not only are you upping your protein, but collagen also has great benefits such as flowy locks and stronger nails. It’s a win-win in my book.

Add extra meat to your meal
Adding a little bit of chicken at lunch or dinner will give you the extra boost of protein you need.

Oatmeal + Protein
If you’re not an egg person I suggest making protein-packed oatmeal. Just add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, a dash of nut milk and top with berries. BOOM you just had 20+ grams of protein and will likely be full till lunch ๐Ÿ™‚ This is also a super easy way to get in protein when traveling.

Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt + Berries
Plain Greek Yogurt is such a simple way to add extra protein. Add a few berries, maybe some powdered PB and a dash of honey and you have a “healthy” sweet treat! Those who know me well know I have this EVERY night. Sometimes with granola if I have the carbs and fats to spare.

All the Egg Whites 
Breakfast scrambles are the easiest way to increase your daily protein. Makes egg whites with all the leftover roasted veggies and ta-da you have a filling protein packed breakfast.

There you have it, folks, a few simple ways to increase your daily protein. Want to join the 6-week Nutrition Challenge?  Click HERE to get started.

Because sometimes you just need some comfort food. Because sometimes you just need some comfort food. In 2020, we needed a lot of it.โฃ
โฃ
Here's the thing. Comfort food isn't bad. It's made with love.โฃ It's good for the soul. Your mindset. Your overall health. โฃ
โฃ
The reason I've been able to cruise through 2020 in maintenance mode and crush it -- is because of comfort food. Yes, you heard that. I ate the pizza. I ate the cookies. I even had a few glasses of wine! You're probably thinking yeah right.โฃ
โฃ
Truth is -- I don't restrict. I allowed myself to enjoy food guilt-free and because of that, I didn't overdo it.โฃ
โฃ
Restriction = Overindulgingโฃ
โฃ
I might eat a slice of pizza, but the rest of the day I might have an egg scramble, chicken salad, and smoothie bowl. It's all about balance. I focus on whole foods and cook 99% of my meals.โฃ
โฃ
It took me a while to get to this place. I had to shift my mindset. I had to change my habits.โฃ
โฃ
Change = Changeโฃ

I had to want to make changes. I had to practice. I had to give myself grace. But I'm here and I'm happy.โฃ
