Adding Protein to Your Diet - Day 4 May Daily Diary

One thing I have problems getting enough of is protein. I rarely eat red meat and don't seem to get an adequate amount of protein from fish, chicken, eggs and beans. According to My Fitness Pal I should be eating 80g of protein a day.
A friend suggested Great Lakes Gelatin/Collagen. You can add this to almost anything (even a cup of tea) with very little flavor difference. I usually add Great Lakes Collagen to a smoothie (11 grams of protein for 2 tablespoons).

Note: I've noticed Trader Joe's has Great Lakes Gelatin in their stores.

Halle Berry suggests adding collagen to your diet by boiling up bones from the butcher. She says they will usually give them to you because they would otherwise throw them away. Boil them in water for 24 hours (add thyme, garlic and bay leaves) and drink the broth.

Day 4 - Instead of walking or following an exercise online I trimmed trees and spent most of  the morning gardening. I didn't stop for a snack in the morning and the afternoon snack was hummus and celery. I'm feeling better and have more energy.
