Thank you for visiting our website. We are promoting all things health and wellness with our Pearland based Wellness Market! Our wellness market is always FREE TO THE COMMUNITY! This market is taking place on a brand new day and time; every 3rd Saturday afternoon from 12-3 pm. We are  planning to establish this market in one or two other Houston area cities, so stay tuned! 

Protein is an important part of diets and our bodies need it! One of the main roles of protein is to build and repair muscle tissue.  Protein also helps us to stay full and satisfied between meals, and can help aid in weight loss because we stay satisfied for about 3 hours between meals.

Most healthy adults need about .4 to .5 grams of protein per pound.  So, if an individual weighs 150 pounds, they would need about 60-70 grams of protein per day.  But not all at once.  They body can only handle so much protein at once. Generally around 25 grams at a time.  The body loves porcesses and systems.  Think of the body processing protein like a conveyer belt.  A conveyor belt specifically spaces items apart at regular intervals to not overload the process or system.  The body works the same way.

How cool!

My favorite go to protein sources are: greek yogurt, pre-cooked grilled chicken which is great for quick salads, wraps, and stir frys.  I also like boiled eggs for on the go.  I love to enjoy salmon, tuna, canned chicken, egg whites in the container for quick scrambles, and Post Workout Recovery.  Shakeology is a great source of protein too including about 17 grams per serving.

What are ways you include protein in your day?
