@allie_espinosa: I used to eat meals that were healthy! You know, more fruits, veggies & salads. I’d even pick healthy carbs like quinoa and sweet potatoes. I was making some progress but it was SLOW and I wasn’t getting that toned look AT ALL. I was Just a skinnier, still soft version of myself. One of the biggest changes I made that made such a huge difference was eating a lot more protein! Every meal is now protein packed! Even snacks (for the most part) are protein based! Before I thought eating enough protein was having a chicken breast with dinner and that was about it. Now…every meal is centered around at least 4 oz of protein. And if I’m snacking it’s protein as well! Protein helps keep you full, supports muscle, stabilizes energy, and makes it way easier to stay consistent with your nutrition. So now my days look more like: • Eggs and toast w spinach or a protein shake at breakfast • Chicken, lean ground turkey or fish with rice at lunch • Greek yogurt with berries protein bars, or a protein shake for snacks • Chicken, steak or lean ground beef with potatoes and veggies for dinner It’s not complicated. But it’s one of the habits that made the biggest difference. Now I’ve been able to see muscle definition and get that lean and toned look I was after. And it made the fat loss speed way up! One way to make it super easy is to put a bunch of chicken in the crockpot so you have enough cooked and ready for most of the week to add to meals. Are you eating protein at every meal?
