Take Advantage of Your Sweet Tooth
We can all use something a little sweet once in a while, even on the strictest of diets. If you’re looking for a quick fix for your sweet tooth, check out this chunky chocolate protein cookie recipe.
And let’s not forget, an easy way to boost the nutritional content of any meal or snack is to add protein. If you can increase the protein, you’ll feel full longer, support muscle growth, and burn more fat in the process.
This is the thing that most of us forget about protein. During digestion, it actually burns more calories and fat, so it has a bigger impact on your weight loss goals. Eating foods high in protein, even if they contain a little sugar and fat, is an easy way to help offset the negative.
What’s more, supporting lean muscle growth will improve your resting metabolism, which means your body will burn more calories over time.
Keep a Little Protein On Hand
For all of these reasons, it’s a great idea to keep a high quality protein supplement on hand. Whey protein supplements offer excellent support for lean muscle growth, in addition to boosting metabolism. They contain all the amino acids your muscles need to build and repair themselves.
Without question my favorite protein powder today is one without all the artificial crap you see in most protein powders, and thus this one doesn’t make your stomach go crazy – Optimum 100% Natural Whey. It’s nice and clean with very few carbs at all so you can keep any additions all natural such as adding a banana or peanut butter (or if you haven’t yet try my free 50 smoothie recipes eBook, the feedback I’ve been getting is awesome on this!).
Baking with Whey Protein
In terms of versatility, you can even bake with whey protein powder. In most cases, you can just add a scoop or two in with a little water, depending on what it is you’re making. This is an easy way to pack in the nutrition when it comes to your baked goods, and meet your fitness goals even faster.
