Everything you need to know about protein.

Out of the primary macronutrients, protein, carbohydrates, and fat – protein might be the most important macronutrient. Protein is a great indicator that you are consuming healthier food, it’s satiating, and promotes muscle growth and repair.

In this video, we discuss why protein is pivotal in your diet, how to establish a protein goal, and how and why it’s important to break up protein throughout your day.

Lastly, I will go through some of my favorite protein sources as well as foundational protein sources you should be eating.

Wendy’s chili has pretty damn good macros. A large serving has 22g of protein, 10g of fiber, and only 330 calories. Would I eat this every G.D. day? No, of course not. But perhaps you’re driving around, the kids are screaming or you just simply forgot to pack lunch. You are having what I would call a “midday crisis” and this allows you an opportunity to pivot and not wreck your diet that day. Wendy’s chili isn’t a bad idea if you’re in a pinch.

What exactly are Omega-3s and why should we care about them?

Omega-3s are a type of fatty acid known for their health benefits, often referred to as one form of “good fats” due to their ability to combat cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Among the 11 forms of Omega-3s, I’m going to discuss 3:

1️⃣ ALA – Found in plant-based sources such as chia seeds and walnuts.
2️⃣ EPA – Obtained from fish like trout, salmon, sardines, and anchovies.
3️⃣ DHA – Also sourced from fish like trout, salmon, sardines, and anchovies.

To maintain optimal health, it’s recommended to aim for a daily intake of 500mg each of EPA and DHA. One relatively easy way to meet this requirement is to eat 8oz of seafood weekly from any of the fish sources listed above. This will ensure an adequate supply of Omega-3 fatty acids.

I personally eat salmon twice a week. Omega-3s are essential meaning your body can’t make them – you have to get them from your diet. Consider adding more seafood in throughout the week.

🥬Here are some of my favorite vegetables and why:

Artichoke – this veggie actually has the most fiber per calorie than any other vegetable. It’s also high in inulin which is a soluble fiber that acts as a prebiotic.

Broccoli – 35 calories with 3g of fiber and holds an impressive micronutrient profile. Broccoli is also highly bingeable, meaning you can eat a lot of it for little calories.

Sweet potatoes – nutritious carbohydrate source that is high in resistant starch and fiber. It also has more beta-carotene gram for gram than any other vegetable (including carrots).

Collard greens – loaded with antioxidants and micronutrients. This is also a highly bingeable vegetable, so you can eat a lot for little calories.

Asparagus – low calorie vegetable with loads of antioxidants and fiber. It also has a lot of unique micronutrients and is a natural diuretic.
