Today, let’s dive straight into a topic crucial for your fertility journey – protein intake. No fluff, just science-backed essentials. Let’s get to it!
Why Protein Matters for Your Eggs and BMI:
Protein is the unsung hero for your fertility journey. It’s not just about building muscles; it plays a significant role in egg quality and maintaining a healthy BMI. Eggs need the right nutrients to flourish, and protein is their VIP ticket.
The Protein Gap:
Let’s face it – many Western women are missing the protein memo. Typically when I start working with women, one of our first priorities is to get their protein intake up to help them feel fuller for longer and to help nourish their body and eggs.
Top 5 Tips to Boost Your Protein Intake:
- Morning Power-Up: Start your day right with a protein-packed breakfast. Eggs, Greek yogurt, or a protein smoothie are quick, delicious options. No more skipping the most important meal!
- Snack Smart: Swap out those empty-calorie snacks for protein-rich alternatives. Almonds, cheese, or a piece of jerky can keep you energised and on track.
- Protein pack your carbs: Instead of white bread, pasta, potatoes, opt for quinoa, lentils, and chickpeas as your starchy carb. They are not only nutrient-packed but also versatile in your favorite dishes. Most importantly, they will help minimise a blood sugar spike.
- Protein on the Go: Life gets busy, but that’s no excuse to neglect your protein intake. Keep protein bars or shakes in your bag for those hectic days. Easy, convenient, no excuses.
- Mix It Up: Variety is the spice of life, right? Same goes for your protein sources. Don’t stick to one type – explore fish, poultry, lean meats, and plant-based options. Your taste buds and eggs will thank you.
No more guesswork. Just straightforward, actionable steps to power up your protein game. Your eggs deserve the best, after all.
