i'm having a little protein shake building off of what we were talking about earlier increasing your daily protein intake is a great way to maximize your thermic effect of food the calories you burn from the food you eat now i'm not normally a protein shake person so don't think that you need to be pounding back protein shakes at every opportunity you get my favorite way to increase protein intake is to sneak higher protein ingredients or foods into the meals you already eat so like with the sandwich i shared earlier with protein powder like protein powder is such a great tool but most people think that you can only include it in protein shakes or in smoothies and things like that i use the women's best vegan protein i'm actually using it as my tripod right now so i will just put it on screen but my favorite way to use it is in baking i find baking therapeutic of course i also like eating the end result of what i've baked but what i realized a couple years back is that you can actually substitute the flour in recipes up to about one third of the amount called for for vegan protein powder this does not work with whey protein powder not all protein powders bake the same the best one i found to bake with is the women's best vegan protein i'll link it down below i actually just made a recipe for the women's best youtube channel where you can like see how i do this but it was for protein brownie balls i'll link that recipe video down below as well as a code to save NUMBER_TOKEN off everything you get on the women's best site you can use it to support me you can use it to just save some money you know do what you want but that is probably the easiest way to get more protein in your diet anyways i did want to talk about work my work schedule varies wildly there are some days where i am very active when i'm doing workout filming i'm literally moving from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to sleep and then there are other days like today where i am more sedentary and i'm mostly working at my computer like editing doing emails whatever i'm sitting on my bum and i'm on my computer which i think if you have a sedentary job this can feel like a huge barrier to living a more active lifestyle research upon research has proven that neat non-exercise activity thermogenesis the lifestyle component of activity is the most variable component of metabolism and as a result of this when you often see people who have an easier time maintaining their weight who seemingly have fast metabolisms and can eat whatever they want more often than not it's not because they have a ton of muscle mass it's not because they're eating crazy high protein diets it's not because they're doing insanely intense workouts most of the time it's because they have very active lifestyles they're not actually trying but they just are active in their everyday life people like construction workers people who do manual labor i've even seen some like daycare and preschool like uh child caregivers caregivers in general people who are literally moving themselves as well as other people on the daily these are very active jobs and so these people will seemingly have super fast metabolisms even if they don't work out but it's because they're moving NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN during the day so if you do work a
