⠀⠀
1) Breakfast – What does your breakfast look like? Does it only consist of carbs? Ex some cereal, fruit and toast? Eating a meal full of carbs with little to no fat will provide you with energy but may lead to that mid-morning crash. All of these food items are fine to eat but by adding in some protein and healthy fats, you will be kept full and have long lasting energy!
⠀⠀
2) Post workout – You just worked out and created these microscopic tears in your muscle. Ensuring you eat protein post workout will help your muscles repair and grow. Eating a meal high in protein with some healthy carbs (avoiding processed/sugary foods) will help your body enter the recovery phase quickly!
⠀⠀
3) Before bed – Your body is about to enter a fast. Eating protein before bed can help continuously feed off amino acids all through the night. Greek yogurt mixed with protein is one of my favourites!

Remember that these 3 times are not the ONLY times to be consuming protein. Eating protein with every meal is important!
