Let's start with the basics:
Good sources of Protein in general:
100g Fish 20g protein
100g Chicken 30g protein
100g Beef 25g protein
1 Egg (large 50g) 6g protein
200g Yoghurt (low fate) 10g protein
40g cheese (full fat) 10g protein
100g uncooked Legumes 7g protein
100g Hommus 9g protein
Easy Meal Ideas that get me through using the above Protein Sources:
Tuna
- with a cup of steamed rice and half avocado and Tamari sauce
- with 3 to 4 crackers
Chicken - if I don't have a lot of time I'll just grab a roast chicken from the supermarket already cooked and add
- with broccoli, cauliflower, or whatever greens I have
- with mixed salad leaves - just buy a bag of mixed green leaves, wash them, throw them in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice of apple cider vinegar and some sea salt
Chicken Breast
- strips of chicken stir fried with mixed vegetables
Steak - I tend to add the same thing to steak as I do with my chicken
- Steak and Salad
- Strips of Beef stir fried with mixed bag of vegetables
Eggs
- Boiled eggs, sliced and served over fresh spinach leaves with a drizzling of olive oil, salt and pepper
- Scrambled eggs cooked over mixed vegetables with salt and pepper and your favourite herbs to flavour
Hommus
- with slices of carrot, celery, cucumber, capsicum
Wraps are great too
- Chicken, salad and hommus wrap (I love the Bfree 5 Quinoa & Chia seed wraps from Woolworths)
