Protein?? Vitamins??

I am currently doing OMAD and eat right around 1000 calories a day simply because that's all I can handle before being too full. I try to get a lot of protein in along with a few carbs. I'm not sure I'm getting enough protein. I am getting around 40g a day. Does anyone have amy tips to get more protein without having to eat so much? Also, if you take daily vitamins to supplement, which kind are you taking?

Answer

1k calories? That may not be enough to sustain. You should be at least 1,200 depending on your body, sex, age, etc. You should also be a lot higher on the protein. Are you using OMAD to lose weight or to gain some of the other health benefits?

Answer

Protein powder is very affordable and gives you about 30g a scoop. I normally get soy as I don’t handle dairy too well.

For actual food, chicken breast is a good option or any other lean meat or fish.

Answer

High protein meal, be it chicken breast or steak, I like to have topped with 3 fried eggs. A salad consisting of arugula and tricolour coleslaw cabbage, cubed avocado and walnuts tossed in a nutritional yeast vinaigrette. Beverage with this meal is a protein shake with a scoop and a half of protein, and I like to add a scoop of glutamine to it.
