Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Four easy ways to increase your protein intake
Caption: Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet, helping the body to repair itself and maintain muscle, among other benefits. With the New Year just around the corner, many of us are hoping to achieve our fitness and general health goals. SuperNutrio, the high protein and calcium milk brand, has teamed up with nutritionist Natalie Rouse to share four easy ways to boost your daily protein intake and help you achieve those New Year's fitness resolutions. Boost your breakfast with protein Studies have shown that protein is more effective than carbs or fats in curbing hunger so try adding protein to the most important meal of the day to keep you going for longer. "By swapping out sugary cereals and incorporating high-protein foods into your morning routine, such as scrambled eggs, Greek yoghurt, or a simple glass of high-protein milk, you can start your day strong and feel satisfied without the need for mid-morning snacks.". Snack smarter But if you do feel the need to nibble mid-morning, try swapping out your regular snacks for ones packed with protein, such as nuts. "If you're looking to fuel your body while sticking to your fitness goals, choosing high-protein snacks can make a world of difference. Protein has a notable thermic effect known as dietary-induced thermogenesis (DIT) which means your body burns more energy to digest and metabolise protein after eating them compared to carbs or fats.". Swap and substitute As part of your New Year's health kick, try to swap certain foods in your diet for something protein-rich. "When it comes to weight loss and keeping fit, it's important to be realistic and listen to your body. Small simple swaps in your diet can make a big difference to your everyday health, and increasing your protein gains can offer a satisfying way to reduce your calorie intake without feeling hungry.". The experts suggest swapping butter for a drizzle of olive oil, picking leaner cuts of meat, and swapping sugary protein shakes for SuperNutrio to help you reach your protein goals. Make protein part of every meal Try to get into the habit of adding a source of protein to every meal "Research has found that including protein in three meals per day can help adults increase their muscle strength. Whether it's protein-rich meat like chicken, fish or lean beef, or plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, or quinoa, protein should be a staple at each meal to keep your energy up and your muscles strong."
