Intentional Snacking with More Protein Is Not Just Trending, It’s Practical

Packing healthy snacks with quality ingredients is a holistic approach to avoid those “rare” stops at the vending machine or grabbing a quick bite in a drive-thru to save time. We work hard at our health and fitness goals, and delicious, protein-packed meal options are essential to add a robust selection of vitamins, nutrients, and micronutrients to our diet for a healthy lifestyle. Higher amounts of protein also helps to control appetite and food intake.

Extra protein from a trusted source can affect body composition and maintain a vibrant state of health. High-protein supplements, like Nutrimeal, are extremely functional and convenient to ensure you are reaching the protein levels to meet your needs—especially when traveling.

How Much Protein Do I Actually Need?

While studies may differ, according to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), it’s recommended to consume at least 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight each day. This is a good starting ratio to shoot for if you aren’t currently very active. Based on your goals, you can adjust accordingly. Age, activity level, lean muscle mass, and your current state of health should all be considered.
