Here a few examples: Replace sauces and dips with high-protein alternatives A lot of meals contain hidden calories in dips and sauces. But you can combat this by replacing them with low-calorie, high-protein ingredients. Easy ideas include replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt on taco night or dipping your fruits or veggies in nut butter. Simple replacements like this can make a big difference. Snack smart Preparing ahead for movie nights or sudden snack cravings is important while counting calories. If you don't prepare, you may end up snacking on sweets and treats which contain little to no protein and overindulging. So have some nuts or jerky in the cupboard for those sneak snack attacks to ensure you're filling up on healthy and high-protein "treats." Meal prep, meal prep, meal prep! Meal prepping is vital for staying on track throughout the week, and doing so can ensure you have the right amount of protein to reach your daily macro goals. The easiest way to do this is to hard-boil some eggs for your breakfasts or lunches, roll up some deli meat, or have some pre-portioned nuts ready to go. Hitting your protein goal doesn't have to be complicated. If you prepare ahead, you'll save time, feel good, and reach your goals!
