Nut-Busting Myths

Contrary to popular beliefs, nuts are not a great protein source. They are a fat source and typically allow you only a couple of grams of protein per serving. The same is true of dairy. While there is protein in it, the primary macronutrient is fat. So if you are eating nuts throughout the day thinking you are getting your protein in, likely you will want to swap those nuts out for a different source referenced here.

A Day in the Life of Protein – Omnivore

In order to envision what 100 grams of protein per day would look like, check this out. Start your day off with two eggs, (approximately 12 grams of protein). Two hours later, make yourself a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder for 20 grams of protein. At lunch time, you might have a salad with approximately four ounces of clean meat, maybe some salmon or turkey or thin strips of beef, and add a quarter cup of pumpkin seeds. This will give you approximately 40 grams of protein at lunch. As a mid-afternoon snack, you might have a quarter cup of hemp seeds (about 12 grams of protein), and for dinner, you could go for three to five ounces of clean meat or fish with some brown rice and roasted veggies (giving you an additional 35 grams of protein). This type of eating throughout the day will give you about 120 grams of protein per day. Of course you can modify this as needed, but I wanted to demonstrate the simplicity of allowing yourself enough protein each day.
