Any tips for upping protein intake? I thought I was doing alright, loads of beans & pulses, tofu, leafy greens, protein shakes after training (& the morning after) but was still feeling fucked about two days after hockey practice (there are other factors at play here I know, but protein was the first one a PT friend recommended I look at). Actually worked out my average intake & it looks like I'm getting about half my recommended protein! I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to double my intake! I already eat a lot of food!
Fucked up how? Lack of carbohydrate post exercise will leave you flat afterwards. Protein has its place but CHO is more important for sports, especially repeated bouts of sports.
