Hitting my daily protein and fiber goals has always felt like a full-time job.
Between dry-scooping powders , meal-prepping endless batches of grilled chicken and sneaking collagen and whey into everything from soups to smoothies, I’ve spent almost a decade trying to consistently hit my recommended protein count (70 grams per day, at least).
I know firsthand that protein is key for building muscle and staying satisfied through the day, yet I still find it surprisingly difficult to bulk up my intake. I also don’t eat much red meat and have never been crazy about the chalky texture of protein bars , which just makes it even more of a challenge.
