1st Challenge~!~!~!

Okay everyone so here is our first challenge to add some fun to this and learn some good eating habits! So next week January 16-22 is going to be our PROTEIN week! We each are going to focus on adding healthy proteins to our diets. I wanted to give everyone a couple days to research and give each other ideas on how to do this!

I am going to say the person who can add 3 SERVINGS of Protein each day with the most creativity gets to pick ONE other player of his or her choice to add 30 mins EXTRA onto one of their workout's for the following week.
Here is some facts I found:

The recommended servings for protein based on a 2,000 calorie diet is 5.5 ounces.

 

Protein Serving Notes:

 

- 1 ounce of meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, fish) equals 1 ounce

- 1 egg equals 1 ounce

- 1/4 cup of cooked dry beans equals 1 ounce

- 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter equals 1 ounce

- 1/2 ounce of nuts and/or seeds equals 1 ounce

 

One egg provides 6 grams of protein, or 12% of the Recommended Daily Value. Eggs provide the highest quality protein found in any food because they provide all of the essential amino acids our bodies need in a near-perfect pattern. While many people think the egg white has all the protein, the yolk actually provides nearly half of it.
The high-quality protein in eggs helps you to feel full longer and stay energized, which contributes to maintaining a healthy weight. In fact, research* shows that eggs eaten at the start of the day can reduce daily calorie intake, prevent snacking between meals and keep you satisfied on those busy days when mealtime is delayed.

Muscle Strength, Repair & Preservation

Research indicates that high-quality protein may help active adults build muscle strength and middle-aged and aging adults prevent muscle loss. Consuming eggs following exercise is a great way to get the most benefits from exercise by encouraging muscle tissue repair and growth
