Getting Protein In Daily

 

Getting Protein In Daily

Many people say they just don't have the time to consume the protein. This is the reason there are methods for getting it in without wasting tons of time. Your body can only absorb about 45-50 grams of protein per meal this is why I recommend eating 6 smaller meals a day instead of a few large ones. This will allow you to absorb more protein each day.

I also recommend eating high protein foods prior to and after workout to provide your muscles with protein when they need it most. In order to get in the proper amount of protein daily you have to rid yourself of all junk food. They take up a lot of room and fill you with empty carbs.
