As a college student on a budget, I have found that my protein intake has significantly reduced over the last couple of years. I realized I wasn’t getting enough protein when my workout fatigue took days, sometimes a week, to subside. My muscles were rebuilding and repairing very slowly with the limited amount of protein I was consuming. To fix this, I started doing some research and learned just how vital protein is to our bodies.
Because our bodies do not store protein, it is essential that we consume protein daily to help our bodies to stay in shape. Protein enables our bodies to recover quickly after exercise or injury, build and maintain lean muscle, maintain a healthy weight and suppress hunger. Some common examples of foods high in protein include eggs, almonds, peanuts, chicken breasts, oats, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, milk, broccoli, lean beef, tuna, quinoa, lentils, Ezekiel bread, pumpkin seeds, turkey breast, fish and brussel sprouts.
You can also incorporate protein into your diet using whey protein supplements. I really enjoy using protein supplements because you can add them to a wide variety of meals, such as a post workout smoothie, a bowl of oatmeal, or even a cup of coffee. This is a great way to add protein to your diet with minimal effort and cost. At AstroFlav, we use the highest quality Whey Protein Isolate to ensure fast digestion without added sugars, fillers, or unnatural ingredients. You can check out our protein supplements here.
