You constantly feel weak and hungry

Terry Hope Romero, author of a number of bestselling cookbooks for health foods, noticed that her vegan diet was leaving her unsatisfied and lacking energy throughout the day. “When you work full time and have a long commute, and you regularly work out or you have a lot of errands to run, it can be easy to fill up on processed carbs,” says Romero. “To feel full every day, especially when you’re working out to build muscle, it’s not really the best approach.” Protein takes longer to digest, which makes you feel full and energized. When Romero started consuming more protein (by adding natural protein powders like hemp protein and brown rice protein to everyday foods, as featured in the recipes of her newest book Protein Ninja), she started feeling stronger and more satisfied. Here’s how to eat more protein without even trying.

Your muscles look MIA

You’re struggling to lose weight

Research in the journal Nutrition Metabolism found that dieters who boosted their protein intake to 30 percent of their total calories ate nearly 450 fewer calories each day and lost 11 pounds over a three-month period, Women’s Health reported. Eating enough protein is especially important on a diet because it helps ensure that you lose fat, not metabolism-boosting muscle, as you slim down. “High-protein foods take more work to digest, metabolize, and use, which means you burn more calories processing them,” the magazine notes. “They also take longer to leave your stomach, so you feel full sooner and for a longer amount of time.”
