MINDFUL MAY 🌿 | Tip 1: Protein First

If you only focus on one nutrition habit right now, make it this: prioritize protein at every meal.

A lot of people overcomplicate nutrition by searching for the “perfect” diet, but consistency with the basics will always get you further.

Why protein matters:
• Helps keep you full longer, which can reduce unnecessary snacking and cravings
• Supports muscle recovery after workouts so your body can rebuild and perform at its best
• Helps preserve lean muscle while working toward fat loss goals

Easy ways to add more protein into your day:
✔ Breakfast: eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein oatmeal, or a shake on the go
✔ Lunch: grilled chicken, turkey, tuna, lean beef, or tofu
✔ Dinner: salmon, steak, ground turkey, shrimp, or rotisserie chicken
✔ Snacks: beef jerky, hard-boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, protein bars, edamame, or string cheese

A simple goal: build your meals around a protein source first, then add carbs, healthy fats, and produce around it.

Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with one habit, stay consistent, and let the small changes add up over time.
