Protein Power Hour!

Ok, as some know I wanted to create a Protein Challenge for the board... but it was hard to design something that fit everyone (since everyones goals are different). So, I came up with this concept... PROTEIN POWER HOUR- for one meal (aka "hour") a day try to fit in at least 1/3 of your protein goal for the day... that means for me, I try to get in at least 70g so for protein power hour, I would need to consume 24g of protein. Now, this shouldn't be too hard... 3-4oz of lean meat, protein drinks, etc. The ultimate goal for me would be to build up to three protein power hours a day. Thus not snacking or needed to have anything additional to take care of my protein... it would all be taken care of in my 3 meals a day. (Those can/should snack, can still snack but that would only be boosting and adding to the days protein intake) Make sense? Anyway, this is open to anyone who wants to participate. Once a week (Wednesday's) I will post asking how many "power hours" you have had that week. The challenge would be to have at least 7 for a week. Hope you all will join me with this goal! We all need our protein

Sounds like a good idea, Mary. Tell us when to start. Karla

Today!

That's easy! When I make my shake with Isopure and Calorie Control Milk it has 33 grams of protein This is my typical lunch!

My power hour was from 6:30-7:30 am when I had a Protein Iced Mocha Latte for 33 g of protein Karla

Mine was from 8-9 am when I had my coffee w/scoop of unflavored unjury.

I can do that! I need 90 grams of protein daily: My breakfast is always a protein shake: skim milk-10 grams Weider's protein powder(either peach/mango or pineapple splash) 20 grams = 30 grams today's lunch was cottage cheese 1 cup=30 grams protein (I eat that over an hours time) with unsweetened pineapple Nancy B

had a pro shake for breakfast---25 grams--that was my power hour

Cool Idea, Mary. My protein drink that I had as a snack was 32 grams of protein.. Thats my power hour! Kay

I did it, without even trying! I had a shake this afternoon B-wise chocolate raspberry protien powder with about 12 ounces of Carb Control Skim Milk... My total for my power hour is 32 gs of protien... This is not my usual routine... but I guess it really should be... I need to concentrate on getting in enough.... WooHoo!!! Great job everybody!
