On prime of that, I’ve the vitality to maintain me going all day [no mid-day crashes] and I really feel approach much less bloated. Listed below are just a few methods I’ve been capable of attain my purpose: Breakfast consists of black espresso with one scoop of Collagen powder [which packs 9g of protein per scoop!], 3/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt, blueberries, 1 Tbsp peanut butter, and 1 Tbsp chia seeds! Lunch is grilled hen with a salad topped with chickpeas [and cheese and croutons and Olive Garden dressing — I have to like it or I won’t eat it]. Snacks are protein bars, sliced cheese and crackers, and beef jerky. Dinner is usually one thing from HomeChef that consists of meat, potatoes, and veggies! ps.
