Today is National Protein Day. Yes, there is a day like this as it is an extremely important nutrient. Now few things to ensure daily rather than celebrating it just one off day 💡 Even if you are not physically active or doing light exercise you have to consume protein (in grams ) 0.8 to 1.2 times of body weight daily. 💡Focus on consuming high-quality protein sources that provide essential amino acids necessary for the body's various physiological functions. Lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, soy, paneer and whey are good sources of protein. 💡Whey protein is a very convenient and safe source of protein and it can be consumed to complete your daily protein requirement regardless of your activity level. And yes, it doesn't impact your renal functions if you are already healthy. 💡In case you are vegetarian and have lactose intolerance ( or vegan by choice) you can choose plant-based protein which is now widely available.

(Most of your challenges with muscle growth are due to inadequate protein intake this doesn't mean you need to eat steak at every meal, but quality is essential! you need to ensure you have: -Complete proteins from sources like eggs, dairy, or legumes -Protein spread throughout the day, especially post-workout -A balance of protein with carbs and fats for optimal recovery -Consideration of protein timing around your workouts Hitting your protein goals will supercharge your gains and support muscle repair! :)

Some question why we decided to develop our Protein Cake Cups. What if I told you… The single serve dessert cup that leads the market (right label in the photo) has: 60+ ingredients 2x more fats - 5 different processed oils 1.5x more calories 3x more sugar $imilar price to ours No nutritional value Same shelf-life as ours Marketed as “artisanal” 🥲 Are in tens of thousands of stores across North America. While our Cake cup with 20g of protein is starting to build traction, we got a long ways to go. Maybe I am a bit naive, but I believe our country 🇨🇦 deserves better. Earthling Foods vision is to bring a better alternative to the market. The blue label on the left is ours, with 15 ingredients. Whole foods have value, and the 60+ ingredients here do not contribute to shelf life or even a lower price for grocers. Let’s do better!

How Much Protein Does Your Body Need? Protein is probably the hardest macro to get enough of. Carbs are super easy to eat and so are fats because they are twice as calorie dense. Protein rich foods like poultry, ground beef, egg whites and fish are much harder to eat in high quantities. Therefore, people often fall behind on their protein intake which can sabotage progress. Really, you need to be at 1.5g of protein per pound of lean body weight, especially if you are cutting weight in a calorie deficit where your amino acid pools can deplete quicker, meaning you are at higher risk of becoming catabolic. At the very least, you should be eating 4 whole food meals per day with the rest of your protein coming from 2 protein shakes (I recommend Total Iso, of course!). This way, you can guarantee you are getting a good cross-section of amino acids and micronutrients from real food. If you struggle to eat higher quantities of meat, adding egg whites to your meals can help bump your overall protein intake. There are ways to do this, but the bottom line is, you can't afford to under eat on protein. Junaid sh…!!!

What are Macros? "Macros" is short for macronutrients, a term used to describe the nutrients your body needs in large amounts, specifically carbohydrates, fat and protein. Here is a cool cheat sheet for your reference. #macros #food #diet

You can add kale powder to your favorite drinks, such as milk, soybean milk, or fruit juice, and then drink it after stirring evenly. It can also be sprinkled on breakfast cereal, yogurt, or salad to enhance taste and nutritional value. Green Spring Technology

The reason food manufacturers add man-made vitamins to processed foods is because there's little to no nutritional value. When you buy real whole foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, Etc. you'll never see that because they naturally are nutrient packed foods. One reason our real whole food bioavailable capsules at Juice Plus are so popular is we help bridge the gap from what so many Americans are missing in their everyday diet.

Macronutrients are the essential nutrients that provide energy and are required in relatively large amounts. The three main macronutrients are: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These nutrients contain the parts of food the body needs to maintain its systems and structures. Our Holistic Nutritionist, Sean, highlights that protein can also come from alternatives to meat (i.e. legumes, eggs, dairy, etc.). Incorporating a variety of foods that contain macros can make your diet less boring and switch things up if you are looking to make beneficial changes!

Peanut Butter: A Powerhouse of Plant-Based Protein 🥜💪 When it comes to protein, we often hear about the usual suspects: meat 🍖, dairy 🥛, and eggs 🥚. But let’s not overlook the humble jar of peanut butter in our pantries. With approximately 7 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons, peanut butter offers a plant-based protein punch that rivals many animal sources. Not only is it a source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids, but it’s also rich in heart-healthy fats 🧡 and fiber 🌾. In fact, peanut butter’s balance of protein, fats, and fiber stacks up well against other popular protein sources like eggs 🥚, cheese 🧀, and Greek yogurt 🍦. So next time you’re looking for a protein boost, remember that peanut butter is not just a tasty spread – it’s a nutritious choice that supports your health and fitness goals. #PeanutButterPower #PlantBasedProtein #HealthyEating
