Once upon a time, I ate oatmeal every single morning
As someone who’s lost 123 lbs…I know a thing or two about food. And nutrition. And losing weight. Maintaining weight. Gaining weight.
Consequently, when I find myself gaining weight or being hungry all the time, I’ll start tracking my macros. Macros are the macronutrients of what you’re eating. Usually I find that I need to do a little tweaking – whether upping my fat or protein intake, or maybe eating more calories.
Why Protein?
According to Harvard University, it will help you feel fuller for longer. I like to sneak protein in in many ways, whether by adding in an extra Shakeology to my day, or incorporating it into recipes…like this one!

For additional options – consider adding banana, chia seeds, and nuts.
What are some of your favorite ways to sneak in extra protein?
