5 Ways To Easily​ Add Protein Everyday​

5 Ways To Easily​ Add Protein Everyday​
If you want the best and fastest possible weight loss and fat loss results, you need to focus on two things when it comes to your nutrition…
1. Creating that small calorie deficit
2. Increasing your protein
Often creating that deficit is the easier part of the equation for most of us. We simple cut something out or shrink one of our portions a bit.
Increasing protein on the other hand can feel oddly overwhelming, especially when it requires us to adjust other things as well to create that calorie deficit.
But increasing protein is more key than we realize.
So here are 5 tips to help you bump your protein intake over the course of your day!

[@franciscoadolfo5805]

I found easy results by eliminating all carbs from grains ( oatmeal bread pasta rice) and sugars ( juices, most fruits, skim milk, Nutella, etc). No more egg whites only, or fear of good fats in meats and fish, cod liver is excellent. Eat whole eggs and whole milk ( goat when can get it). Carbs from veggies. Fruit as a treat. At 60, without a foot in the gym, my abs showed up. Cravings are gone, only eat when hungry. Working out again now. Counting calories make us nervous slaves. No need to eat powder protein. Eat real food

[@mollytaylor3669]

Amazing stuff! All your vids are so well done and very helpful. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Have you ever used any of these custom meal plan tools? I got one from Next Level Diet to help me add some muscle and I actually like their plans. Was just wondering if you've heard of or tried any of them yourself. Thank you!

[@catherinetrapnell]

I feel a little overwhelmed by all the information. Maybe I have to just keep watching and re watching. I didn't even know what a macro was. I am determined to get with your "program" as I feel it makes sense. I have been "cardioing" and "vegging" and "fruiting' myself to death for years, and as a 62 year old, finding it hard to feel fit and strong, as I cope with one injury after another. I feel like I am fighting to recover more than anything. Probably, I have been doing some things wrong all along. I am happy I finally found your channel, and look forward to rethinking how I do things from here on in.

Thanks for the video. Trying to get enough protein in my diet has been the most challenging thing as I'm not a big meat eater at all and so I have found supplements the only way to do it. But hey great video

[@yvettebennett6170]

This was a great video. Loved the shrimp or fish idea along with your beef or chicken. I do not like lean meats so I mostly eat more fatty proteins so I get more fat than I would like. I can't eat much dairy. I can eat maybe a half ounce of cheese and half a serving of Greek yogurt once or twice a week. My gut does not react well to dairy or grains. It's been challenging to up my protein. On the positive note my skin likes the fat. I am post menopausal so my skin is not as dry as when I eat leaner. When I eat leaner my skin gets so dry. Anyways thanks for giving.such great options. Blessings. 🙏

Good video with some useful tips. Just went back and reviewed this. Fortunately, I do not have issues with weight control, so I have given up on the daunting task of counting macros. But I have been keeping an eye on my protein intake in an effort to add muscle mass. A goal of 100 grams a day seems difficult, but this advice should help.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Love that you used tracking to learn your portions and have now gone to a more minimalist macros approach! I find often focusing on just protein and calories overall can help create a great balance and maintain the results we built!

[@nevaehschattenfluegel9652]

I just don't know how to resist the food I like most. I just looooooove pasta,rice and bread but due to health issues I really need to abstain as much as I can. Do you have any tips how to refrain from food you really like? It isn't that the food I eat otherwise doesn't taste good, it's more like I get fed up with other food. Best example would be: I can eat cornflakes and the likes everyday for years and still love it. After just one week of eating eggs I'm fed up with them. And it makes it so hard. If I'm fed up with the food I just stop eating and my calorie intake is way to low and therefore also my protein intake.

[@danielastockfleth-menis8786]

Hello, Great information How do you increase the protein intake if you do fasting for 18 hours only two to one meal a day? You have a video about it?

[@xaniene]

how do you normally cook your chicken? do you use an airfryer? or grill? I appreciate this information because staying on track with menu ideas and keeping protein up can be a challenge. For me, coming up with meal plans is where I struggle especially if I get busy at work and run short on time.

[@JulietManx]

I would appreciate an answer also as I’m in a similar position

[@lmo8366]

Is it advisable to break a routine into small chunks through the day if you don't have a full 2 hour block to change, go to the gym, workout, stretch, change, go back to whatever you do with your day? E.g. I have 30 mins in the AM before a class, so I do two rounds of super sets; then, go to class, do some other work, and go to the gym to finish my 4 pending super set work, for a total of 6, is that ok?

[@tridelltransportation3603]

Are you cooking your own food? If so I don’t know when you sleep. These videos don’t make themselves and then there’s clients, business work, basic housework, shopping and hanging out with hubby. At the end of the day, your success on so many levels is the result of many things but the motor driving it all is an exceptional drive to be best. The lack of that drive is what sets the Coris and Jockos of the world apart from the rest of us underachievers. Knowledge is good but without the will to act a guy is just another dude watching KZbin. Finding that reason to engage is the hard part. Hat’s off to you Cori for finding that reason. All the best.

[@oksanakaido8437]

I'm mostly plant based and recently upped my protein from 90-100 to about ~130 g/day (using only 1 serving protein powder), and lowered fats. However with the increase in protein I found that my calories also increased a fair bit annd with the weather getting colder I now crave fat even with enough (??) calories and kinda overeat. I think a more plant based diet would need a somewhat different macro split to work, carbs will always be a lot higher.

[@Barb6106]

I definitely don’t need to lose weight, but with osteoporosis I need to add protein for sure. Never hungry is a problem…and TOO MUCH not good either!!! I lift some weights, strength train and walk… and TRYING… finally added a vegan protein powder for addl 21 grams. With osteoporosis it is recommended to be less acidic, so little to no animal products, dairy etc! Ugh! Life is now one big search for answers. Any help appreciated on how to add! Thanks!

[@WatermelonJuicee00]

Amazing! But wound you be able to include non-meat variations also please.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

several additives were mentioned in the video (tofu/tempeh, nutritional yeast, edamae were the ones I caught in casual watching)- but lean animal proteins are definitely easier to squeeze in there in terms of bang for the buck (just the nature of the beast, so to speak- lol). beans and nuts are my general go-to + eggs and dairy (love me some cottage cheese over greek yogurt these days) if not vegan. supplementing with pea/whey or nutritional yeast/spirolina (great quality protein in a not so tasty container IME, would rather just supplement with algae oil/quality fish omega-3s) in a smoothie are other quick ways to bump up overall intake if you want to avoid animal proteins.

[@christinalee2072]

Hey Cori! Vegetarian here struggling to get my protein macros especially when weight training more…. You briefly mentioned a couple of plant-based options but it’s hard to eat enough of things like tofu and edamame to feel satiated and get even close to enough protein…. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Love your channel btw!

[@grumpyoldman6503]

Eggs (assuming you aren't vegan), low-sugar yogurt or cottage cheese (ditto), beans, nuts, or chickpeas would be my suggestion if you are talking about things that have decent amounts of protein that also fill you up. Or just supplementing with nutritional yeast, pea or whey protein, assuming you aren't already doing that.

[@ilanfl1234]

Hi Christina, vegetarian here. There's a lot of meat in this video! I wanted to chime in on what you said: If you're okay with non-vegan options, I find that having about 3 eggs everyday + diversifying with different types of low fat dairy things helps a lot: cottage cheese, kefir, greek yogurt, feta. I'm still looking for the vegan options that will replace these. Tofu, seitan, beans and lentils... unfortunately they all have their downsides compared to eggs and dairy. Same goes for quinoa.

[@20footloose]

I’m not a vegetarian, but I love a bean salad! Lots of options to add. Red kidney beans, black beans, green and yellow beans and chick peas. You can buy cans of mixed legumes and just add your own oil dressing and spices.

[@leelasaraswat4662]

@@ilanfl1234 what are the downsides to beans and lentils? I'm vegetarian and don't take eggs either.

[@ilanfl1234]

@@leelasaraswat4662 The downside of them: higher caloric value that comes from the higher carb content. In all the legumes. So if your goal is to lose fat or even to get a high amount of protein in while eating at maintenance calories, they are much less effective compared to eggs, 0% fat milk products, chicken breast, etc.

[@justroxanne5573]

I appreciate the information I was able to glean from this video. Can I just say one thing? This video is very hard to listen to, and watch, at the same time. The images are completely disconnected from the actual facts you are trying to communicate. There is no text, there are no supporting visuals, no list of topics, and the video might as well just have a blank screen. Some people have a strong need for visual support to learn new information, especially neuroatypical people living with disorders like ADD or ADHD, and if you would like your videos to reach the widest possible audience, they should support communicating to visual learners and auditory ones as well.

[@shannonjap7882]

Perhaps the weight gain is muscle, which makes sense since you increased your protein. If you are consistent and aggressive with your strength training then your body will respond to increased protein intake by building more muscle. Step away from the scale and take a good honest look at your body, and then congratulate yourself on getting more ripped!!

Any tips for vegans? I feel like this is a different animal all together because our carb content will always be higher. I do consistently get around 100g of protein a day, so I feel I do pretty good. But I can't get over that without feeling like I'm leaning too heavily on supplements.

[@oksanakaido8437]

I eat overwhelmingly plant based and was where you are at in terms of protein, but lately I've been able to get to ~130 g every day through eating a lot of beans/lentils/split peas and whole grains, with 1 serving of protein powder/day (usually add it to my breakfast in some way). I did find that through increasing protein my calories also increased quite a bit. And I agree, on a vegan diet carbs will always be a lot higher. It's easier to eat less fat as plant based but that depends on your tolerance for a low fat diet.

[@whitneymartinez3342]

@@oksanakaido8437 I can get up there on some days, but not consistently because it often feels like I'm forcing myself to eat when I'm not really hungry.
