Great tips! Over a year ago I finally got on the cook-for-the-week train and what a difference! I plan out my meals on Saturday, order groceries for pick up on Sunday, and cook lunch and dinners for the week on Monday. I spend about 3-4hrs cooking on Mondays and then I don’t think about all week. It has freed up so much time for me!

Brilliant woman giving sound advice.

@carolyn9588

Thank you Dr. Lyon. I’m having great success with your advice. Two words: COTTAGE CHEESE - it’s like my ice cream anymore!

@irondrini17

12-16 meals prepped weekly❤

* Greek yogurt (non fat has more protein). 
* Ground beef. 

Both are relatively inexpensive foods and are high in protein relative to calories (if you get lean meat, like 93/7). 

And try to do grassfed and pasture raised—this also helps the animals. I refuse to support factory farms given how they treat the animals. Nobody would be okay with their pets being treated so cruelly.

@mommybreakdown

Building a meal around protein has been hard but is getting easier as I go. I used to add the protein last. Thanks!

@nothanksmegan

The DRI calculator results says I, an active 112lb breastfeeding mother should eat 2,525 calories per day, but recommends only 67g
of protein. 
However it gives a range for carbohydrates and fat. (Carbs it says 288-418 😳).
It also says “as low as possible” for saturated fat and cholesterol.

Nutrition guidelines in this country are insanely flawed. I hope you testified at congress!

@DarkskullAnderson

Gabrielle you look badass, bring back this look again 🔥. I've never seen you with this kind of outfit on before, I was like wow!

@mariakaralis

Thank you for all your work in this area. I eat my protein first and recommend this to all my clients! Keep up the amazing work and shining a light on this forgotten macronutrient!

@heatherharmon2679

I’ve been mixing ground chicken with egg whites and herbs and eat 5 oz every morning with an egg. Lol. I front load in case I can’t get as much later. Nonfat Greek yogurt or oats mixed with protein makes getting protein easy.

@Michele-rva

I think the planning is the bigges too  eggs are huge recently learned you can make hard boiled eggs in the instant pot with a game changer. The only thing with eating your protein first is if you do a veggie starter you stabilize your glucose spikes so it will help tremendously With everything health related plus it will keep you from having cravings later glucose revolution channel has a lot of cool tips. Also drinking apple cider vinegar will help your muscles suck up any carbohydrates if you take it with a meal where you have carbohydrates also I have come to love sardines they are so convenient. Just make sure you buy some with a high-quality olive oil, but they can be stuck in your purse in your car in your diaper bag in your pantry.

@cdawnd1672

I heard eating vegetables before the protein helps with digestion and keeps your body from getting that glucose spike.

@serenamoonjourneay

I add pastured eggs to my protein smoothies and it helps me get a lot of protein without having to eat eggs lol

@CantrellBeau

I love adding pasteurized egg whites to protein drinks. cottage cheese also adds a good protein punch to protein drinks and makes them extra creamy.

@rachaelalbanese1851

Protein intake is easy! Thanks for sharing your top tips Dr Lyon! 💪

@tracythompson1692

Good advice, if you plan ahead it saves time and improves your way of eating.

@elizabeth5795

Would love more information on carb intake! I did a HIIT workout yesterday- carb intake was one slice bread, one sweet potato, and 1/3 cup steel cut oats but I feel like I overdid it

@Wizardesss

I make a bulk lot of tvp and lentils and cook it up like a nacho mince. It's so cheap, easy and loaded with protein plus cruelty free!!!! And I pair it up with a tofu cream cheese which is also loaded with protein!!!! It's so satisfying to know that I can eat lots of protein, leucine and hit all the essential aminos needed to build muscle, and do it with the least amount of damage to the planet and its inhabitants 💖🌏 'Convenience' is what is doing so much damage to the HEALTH OF EVERYTHING, ITS NOT JUST ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE...

@Mandy-n2d8x
