    First of all, congrats on dropping 10 kg and good luck on your muscle-building journey!

    I’ve been having luck by adding a bit more protein to every meal. For breakfast, I usually have a protein-powder boosted smoothie or low-fat Greek yoghurt with frozen fruits. For lunch, chicken breast cold cuts or a tin of sardines with cottage cheese and/or light mozzarella, along with whole-grain bread and lots of seasonal vegetables with a yoghurt dip. For dinner, some roasted or grilled meat with roasted veggies and rice, sometimes with beans or lentils on the side. For snacks, vegetables with hummus or fruit with peanut butter, maybe a protein bar.

    You can try this out but my point is that I was already eating yoghurt in the morning and I added a bit of protein powder before moving on to smoothies. I was already having smoked sausage and salami for lunch when I switched to sardines and chicken breast. From a cheese spread on white bread to cottage cheese on whole grain. From granola bars to protein bars. You’re better off taking a thorough look at what you eat in a day and finding a high-protein alternative to some things.
