In the blur of a chaotic weekday, grabbing the most convenient things for a breakfast on the run, a lunch spent at your desk, or even a dinner that doesn’t require cooking is sometimes hard to avoid. Making sure whatever you’re eating has enough protein to actually sustain you through a busy day can be challenging. Aside from keeping you full for a longer stretch of time, a protein-rich diet can also help with losing weight and gaining muscle mass. In this POPSUGAR interview with Sports dietician Hillary Ake, MS, RD, LD, CSSD, she recommends having protein take up 10-35 percent of your daily food intake.
