The Best Ways for Women to Get More Protein in Their Diets


Many women don’t get enough protein in their diets. This can impact their health over time. If you want to prioritize eating well without turning to powders and supplements, you have to get your protein from your diet. Foods like nutritious chicken raised free from soy and corn, and grass-fed beef from ethical farms, can help you fill your plate with protein-rich foods you’ll love. Here’s how to do it without changing everything about your diet.

Meal Prep Your Breakfasts

If you prep your breakfast in advance, you’re more likely to forgo quick fixes like granola bars and toast. You can grab your meal-prepped lunch and head out the door, or eat it at home and reheat it the way you like.

Protein-Rich Breakfast Options:

• Stash hash with grass-fed beef
• Chicken and rice congee (rice porridge)
• Chicken crepes
• Sausage and potatoes
• Sweet potato breakfast bowl with steak

Add Chicken to Your Lunch

If you buy your pastured chicken online, use it in a protein-rich lunch and add a chicken breast to your meal. There are so many ways to boost meals with protein when you have chicken (or another meat) on hand.

• Rice bowls

Prepare High-Quality Meat for Dinner

When you learn how to prepare meats well, you will feel more comfortable and confident adding high-quality meats to the regular dinner menu. Many of them don’t even require extended prep times, and they taste fantastic with a dinner salad or hearty grain.
