Easy Protein Rich Meals – Keep Your Protein Intake Up Easily

I have always said that people rely a little too much on carbohydrates in their diet and should increase protein intake with easy protein rich meals. As far as I am concerned your body can not assimilate more than 25 or 30 grams of protein per meal so there is no point in eating 60 or 80 grams in one meal.

Here are a few easy ways to increase your protein. Not rocket science but still things to think about

Easy Protein Rich Meals

Tuna – Had to start with this. A little can of tuna has as much protein as you need in one meal. In the past, I have eaten it straight out of the can, with pepper or eaten it mixed with some cheese and diced pickles.

One other great way is to add a can of tuna to macaroni and white cheese (remember that that powdered white cheese is high in fat but tastes good as an additive anyway).

Ground beef – Tons of stuff you can do after frying up some lean or extra lean ground beef, remember to drain the fat after frying. You can eat it by itself, add tomato sauce or even noodles and cheese.

Protein powder – This is the best easy way to add protein to your diet. Get whey protein powder, cheap stuff, and add protein powder it to milk or cereal, or even add protein powder to your morning oatmeal.

The most important thing for getting protein into your meals and to get all your meals in a day even is to make things easy, really easy. This way you never have to worry about where your next batch of protein is coming from.

If you spend a lot of time making your meals you will never get all of those protein-rich meals and snacks in, so it is important to have at least a couple of meals in your day that are almost instant to make

The Oatmeal Diet

I have recently switched from eating Bagels with either Jam or Nutella to eating oatmeal for breakfast.

This morning I found out that January is oatmeal month (Quaker oats names months?).

Anyway Oatmeal is very good for you as it is high in fiber which is good for your heart as well as vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium.

You can of course add protein powder to your oatmeal if you would like to raise the protein content for this first best meal for the day and I can only imagine how yummy strawberry protein powder with oatmeal would be.

Anyway I just was looking around and found someone that created a diet based on Oatmeal in training for an Ironman race.

Oatmeal diet – introduction is the intro to how this guy feels about oatmeal and even though a diet of oatmeal seems a little crazy eating oatmeal for breakfast is a great idea I believe for making sure that you are starting your day with a healthy step in the right direction.

10 Weight Loss Foods

I have always been a big fan of finding out what foods are best for weight loss and which are not so good.

Tom  Venuto used to be a Natural Pro bodybuilder and after he retired he wrote a book on losing weight that includes weight loss foods of course.

I found one of his articles on 10 weight loss foods for burning fat fast and thought it would be interesting stuff to let you know about.

Keep in mind that all of these foods are just foods to use more in your diet and the description of these weight loss foods is very good to know.

Toms Intro About How To Use His Fat Loss Foods

Anytime the topic of discussion in my blogs, articles or newsletters has turned to my own personal grocery shopping list, there has always been a spike in interest of weight loss foods.

top 10 weight loss foods

It seems that many people are not only curious about what foods a natural bodybuilder eats to maintain single digit body fat.

But of course people also want to be taken by the hand and told exactly what fat loss foods to eat themselves while on fat-burning or muscle building programs.

What are the Top Weight Loss Foods for You?

Of course, I can’t tell you what weight loss foods YOU should eat because I don’t know your likes and dislikes, not to mention whether you have any intolerances, allergies or foods you don’t eat for ethical reasons, etc.

What I CAN do is show you what I eat, which has helped me keep my body fat under 10% all year round and peak in the low single digits when I want to get cut for competitions or photo shoots.

Exact quantities and menus are not listed, just the individual foods, and of course my food intake does vary.

I aim to get as many different varieties of fruits and vegetables as possible over the course of every week and there are a lot of substitutions made, so you are not seeing the full list of everything I eat, only what foods I eat most of the time.

The list above is actually a set of Four Lists of fat loss foods

  • 10 top natural starchy carb and whole grains
  • Top 10 top vegetables
  • Top 10 lean proteins
  • Top 10 fruits
