The best sources of dietary protein are lean chicken , fish , lean meat , egg whites and whey protein. Red meats contain carnitine a metabolic enhancer. Egg whites are pure protein. You can make egg whites from hard boiled eggs palatable by chopping them up with low fat mayonnaise and a little salt. Whey protein is another favorite of many people. Whey is the runny stuff that’s left when you make cheese. The easiest way to get your protein and one I recommend if your going in for the whole program , is a high quality protein shake.

Heres a recipe that is great :

2 to 6 boiled eggs with the yolks removed

1 to 2 bananas

Half cup of strawberries

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup of whey protein

1 cup of oats
Mix it in blender at high speed until well blended. You can vary your shakes by adding skim milk or even vegetables like broccoli. You can also buy commercially made protein shakes at a health food store and add water , milk , juice or fruit and blend it according to the instructions. If your using protein shakes to meet your protein requirements , take one or two protein shakes a day the first between breakfast and lunch and the second between lunch and dinner or immediately after exercise.
