Are you REALLY getting enough protein?

A funny thing I have noticed is this myth that women are not suppose to consume protein or they will "bulk" up the truth couldn't be further from this myth.
Protein aids in building lean muscle tissue giving you that smooth touchable lean legs and arms.
A high protein diet can actually help you decrease body fat and tone the entire body while having more energy!
A general rule for protein consumption for lean muscle mass is half your bodies weight in protein.
So say I weight 105
I should shoot for around 52 grams per day.

seem like a lot?

Not really! with all the awesome shakes out there and a well balanced diet its very easy to hit the targets you set for yourself.

Some of my favorite protein based foods are:
-Herbalife Chicken soup (good for winter or when you have a cold) containing 16 grams of quality protein) you can buy directly from me at celia.cavalli@gmail.com
-Chicken breast cooked or grilled not fried.
-Formula one shakes from Herbalife with almond milk about 15 grams for 2 scoops
-Syntha 6 protein powder also tastes great and is good post workout :)
