NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Did you know protein can do more than build muscles? Recently, Melissa Jaeger, RD, LD, Head of Nutrition at MyFitnessPal, conducted a satellite media tour in conjunction with D S Simon media to talk about how to effectively integrate protein into daily diets, the importance of meal prepping, and share tips for achieving long-term health goals.

Protein has become one of the popular buzzwords in food and nutrition, but it’s not just for gym enthusiasts. Everyone can benefit from understanding more about protein and its impact on overall health. MyFitnessPal is excited to introduce the new Quick Start High Protein Plan, designed to help members incorporate more protein into their diets and reach their health goals.

Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle, but its benefits extend far beyond that. It plays a crucial role in keeping you fuller for longer, helping to regulate blood sugar levels, and ultimately reducing cravings. By integrating protein-rich foods throughout the day, individuals can stay on track with their health and wellness goals, making protein an essential part of a balanced diet. When most people think of protein, they often consider meat, poultry, and seafood. However, there is a wide variety of protein sources available, including eggs, dairy, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes.

Tracking food intake is a powerful tool for making informed food choices that align with personal health goals. MyFitnessPal’s user-friendly app allows members to easily track their protein intake and gain insights into their dietary habits. By taking small daily steps, members can make significant lifestyle changes over time.

To help members incorporate more protein into their diets, MyFitnessPal’s Head of Nutrition has developed the new Quick Start High Protein Plan. This free, week-long plan includes recommended protein sources, grocery shopping lists, and recipe suggestions, making it easier than ever to get started. Additionally, the plan features quizzes to test knowledge and assess current protein consumption habits, along with daily check-ins that encourage reflection on progress and current knowledge to help enable behavior change and fuel motivation.

Members who opt into the plan will learn valuable insights about the role of protein in growth, repair, and tissue maintenance, as well as how protein intake can affect energy levels, appetite, and sleep quality. The plan also covers diverse protein sources found across various food groups and offers strategies for incorporating protein throughout the day, including meals and snacks.
