What % protein are you aiming for?
The app I'm using suggests about 130g
Do you know what that breaks down as a % of daily macros?
Like a typical split could run 30% protein, 35% from fat, 35% from carbs or some variation of that?
Sometimes apps can shoot for really high protein % goals (where it ends up being like 40-50% of daily macros). If you're active I used to suggest people stick around 30-35%.
If that's where your at and are tryig to gain weight or maintain you could add a protein powder. It's usually a good 25 extra gs.
If you're trying to lose weight I would add Veggies that are high in protein to some of your meals.
Oh my bad, it's 25% because I'm pretty infrequently active, but I'm looking to start being active more regularly. I'll definitely look at adding more of those veggies into my diet tho
Yeah the veggies should be helpful then. Hope it helps! And don't hesitate to drop in with more questions.
Will do, thanks for the advice!!
