Weightloss tip of the day

My weightloss tip of the day today is protein.

It's important not only to get plenty of protein, but to get good quality protein items. Lean chicken, turkey and fish are good options, but can be expensive. Stock up when they're on sale and freeze them. Nuts, beans and whole grains are also good sources.

I try to have a good protein source at each meal or snack, to help keep me satisfied longer. I have cottage cheese or eggs with breakfast, cheese, nuts or peanut butter at snack, leftover cooked meat or cheese with lunch, meat with dinner. I try to limit cheese to once or twice daily, since it's expensive and high in fat, but a small serving is nutritious and worth it!
