PROTEIN...

Protein is very important part of your diet . It is generally agreed that you need around 0.4grams of protein per pound of body weight, so if you weigh 180 pounds then you need about 72 grams of protein a day . Whey protein is a good source of lean protein, 1 scoop typically contains about 20 grams of protein. One average sized chicken breast also contains about 20 grams of protein. You can get alot of your protein from a well balanced diet, foods high in protein include Meats , Eggs , fish, milk , nuts , beans & lentils.
It has been scientifically proven that the body actually burns more calories digesting protein . That protein builds lean muscle and in turn larger muscles increase metabolism and burn more fat. Protein is the building blocks of all muscle and also also aids the metabolism in the burning of fat stored inside the muscles .

Wednesday thought and reflection of the DAY!

By Jillian Michaels

Tip for the day: STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP. Give yourself a break will you. All masters started out as students. You can’t be amazing at something over night. It takes time and patience. The same goes for exercise. Don’t have unrealistic expectations from yourself like running 3 miles next week. Instead, take the time to learn the basics: Proper form for each exercise, build muscle memory, build up your endurance and cardiovascular strength. Remember, Rome was not built in a day and neither is a healthy body.

Happiness!
