What's something you wish you started doing sooner/knew earlier in your fitness journey?

@wintermint This is mine too. I’m also CrossFitter who was eating half as much protein as she needed....

@nart Yeah I've done crossfit for over a year and made almost zero progress. I'm sure eating more protein would've made a massive difference. I'm vegan and don't think it's hard to get enough protein now, but I just wouldn't go for it without tracking.

@nart Same!

@nart I was eating peanut butter toast for breakfast and rice and veggies for lunch every day no wonder I was so sore and hungry!

 

[nart]

@wintermint It’s amazing how few snacks I want when I’m actually emphasizing protein with EACH meal!

@nart Any snack tips? I can never get enough protein. I max out at like 75 grams daily and that’s with a protein bar and shake!

 

[nart]

@shardul007 I do two shakes a day... I don’t completely love it but I love the results. I’m getting 100-125g per day by my estimate (I don’t track macros... yet.) For breakfast I eat two hardboiled eggs (12g P) and 40g oatmeal (5g P), and for lunch and dinner I weigh out 6 ounces portions of my protein before I cook it. 6oz (170g) is a LOT more than what I used to serve myself, so I’m just full a lot of the time. Greek yogurt is my before bed snack if I’m still hungry. It all adds up!

Edit: to delete a weird partial sentence that somehow got rearranged to the bottom of this post :/

@nart That's how much protein I am trying to hit. How much do you weight if you don't mind answering.
