I was never a huge meat eater… and it wasn’t really on purpose. I just tended to eat more carbs (even healthy ones) but I realized how important protein really was for my health and weight loss goals.
When I was pregnant, my midwife told me that I needed even more protein in my diet to help my baby grow. That’s when I started looking for ways to add protein into my diet without eating more meat.
What my video to learn how I added more protein into my diet without eating more meat:
Non Meat Protein Sources:
- Greek Yogurt
- Cottage Cheese
- Quinoa
- Beans
- Lentils
- Peanut Butter
- Nuts
- Chia Seeds
- Hemp Seeds
- Ezekiel Bread
- Eggs
- Hummus
When I was pregnant, I dealt with so many food aversions and almost ALL Meat was off the list… that’s when I really learned about using protein powders and how they can supplement your protein intake.
