A client asked me to provide some simple sources of protein to keep recovery and progress on track so here you have it.
A quick list of some easily available protein sources:
- Tuna flaked/steak
- Eggs scrambled/boiled/poached/fried/omelette/raw (If you’re into Rocky style food)
- Cod/Haddock/Plaice/ fillet
- Jerky/Biltong (best to get from a proper South African shop)
- Salmon fillets
- Smoked salmon
- Spicy deli counter Polish/Hungarian salami
- Chicken drumsticks/breasts/thigh
- Prawns
- Home made spicy meatballs
- Tinned mackerel
- Steak
- Pork chops
- Lamb shank/chops
- Tinned pilchards
- Protein shake
Yes, protein is sometimes a little more time consuming to prepare/obtain BUT you have to ask yourself would you rather spend a little extra effort gathering your food and preparing it or would you rather have quick gratification from something easy and sweet and stay soft and soggy?
