Is reaching that protein target a struggle for you? Take a look at your food diary and see if it's a not enough protein issue or a too many carbs or fat issue! Planning ahead or at least logging before you eat is important because that is really the best way to guarantee that you reach those targets!
I like to start each meal with protein first and then add carbs and fat as filler! I start with a minimum of 100 grams of whatever protein I plan on eating.
If your issue is too many carbs, try decreasing the serving size of things like noodles, rice, beans, bread, tortillas or sweets.
Sometimes fat can be the culprit! Maybe you need to decrease the amount of butter, salad dressing, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, oils or it could even be your meats. High fat meats include eggs, bacon, sausage, pork, beef and dark meat chicken like legs and thighs. Reach out if we can help in any way!
