Hey Everyone 

Ok, we are
Planning, Believing and well on our way beating all the pitfalls of Holidays and weight gain    Today's word is PROTEIN 

Protein is a powerful friend for the Holidays.  If you are a newbie you have had this drilled into you but let's review for those of us that may have forgotten.

**Protein - if you are getting in the max, increase it just for the holidays
**Protein - eat often during the day for snacks as well as main meals
**Protein - eat your protein first.  Best for fighting hunger and last longer
**Protein - is number one for building and repairing muscle.  More muscle more fat burned
**Protein - all protein supplements are not equal, if you can stay with whey isopure proteins


Some of my favorite ways to get protein in are:

Lean roast beef, LF cheese and SF pickle roll ups
LF peanut butter on an apple

Blueberry Banana Protein Smoothie
8 oz of NS orange juice
scoop of vanilla whey protein
frozen blue berries
banana

Fage NF yogurt
SF strawberry syrup
Fresh Strawberries
scoop of whey vanilla protein
frozen sliced banana
Muesli (like granola)


Here is a great link that tells you everything you need to know for proteins:
