How can you add more protein to your day?
“Many people tend to backlog protein by consuming large amounts at dinner,” says sports dietitian Roxana Ehsani, RD. Ehsani suggests adding a high-quality protein source to each meal and snack.
“Use dairy milk in oatmeal in place of water for more protein, choose Greek yogurt when building a parfait over plain yogurt, and add cottage cheese to your next avocado toast,” says Ehsani.
