As we go through these hard times are you holding yourself accountable or are you making excuses?

I got straight into details about ideas and places that we suggest for high protein snacks, post-workout ideas, and how to snack less so you do not eat extra calories during the day. Protein is very important for building muscle and also curbing hungry. Especially in a time where you are not able to leave your home, it is important that we try to not overeat on carb snacks and focus on protein snacks because again this will keep you more satisfied and longer to digest. Below are suggestions of places you can buy protein snacks and recipes for snacks you can make.
