Protein Unloading Day

Protein day is a day of unloading on meat, fish or dairy products. Such days are perfectly perceived by obese people, they help to gain a sense of confidence in achieving the set results.

The most popular unloading protein day, of course, is meat and cottage cheese. In order to throw off a couple extra pounds for a day, boil 350 grams of low-fat meat and divide it into four parts, each of which is allowed to eat a small amount of fresh green vegetables. On a cottage cheese day, you need to eat 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese five times a day and drink half a cup of unsweetened tea three times a day.

List of Protein Products

We will help to determine which foods are related to protein . So, in 100 grams of chicken contains 18.7 grams of protein, in turkey fillet - 25.4 grams, in the beef fillet contains 28 grams of protein, in trout - 17.5 grams, in salmon - 20.9 grams, in canned tuna - 23,5 g, in canned white beans - 6,7 g, in eggs - 17 g, in cottage cheese - 16,5 g per 100 grams, in shrimps -23,8 g.

I would like to emphasize that the most useful unloading day on proteins is fish. As in vegetable oil, the fish contains a huge amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which will help you get rid of extra pounds.

Protein day: menu

Food in the protein day of unloading is selected individually. We have prepared an approximate menu for you:

  1. Breakfast : a glass of kefir and fruits for the season (it's better not to mix, but to eat one kind, for example, a glass of berries, a banana, two kiwis or apples, etc.).
  2. Lunch : you can not mix proteins, for example, eggs and meat, choose one thing. Ideally, take a low-fat boiled chicken breast, veal, turkey, seafood, fish, cottage cheese or tofu. On the garnish you can eat stewed green vegetables or fresh salad.
  3. Dinner : for lunch and dinner you need to take the same kind of protein food (or cottage cheese, fish or meat), but in the evening it is necessary to eat half the lunch portion.

Protein unloading days will help to activate metabolic processes. If you chose meat as a protein product, then the body will get enough protein and iron. Cheese and curd fasting days will provide the body with calcium. Kefir reduces the severity of allergic manifestations and activates digestion. But with all the pluses, protein-free days, and even more meat, are contraindicated for people with problems of the cardiovascular system and with liver and kidney diseases.
