want to know the top 5 proteins I always get when I'm out shopping. Let's do this. I'm Andrea Marcellus, I specialize in fitness for busy people, helping them to lose 12 to 20 pounds in about six weeks. If you're stuck on your fitness journey, send me a message, tell me what's wrong. I will send you tips, free things to help. And if you wanna talk one on one coaching, I can do that too. In the chicken section, I am always looking for chicken thighs because they're less expensive and they have more nutrition. There's more vitamins in them, so that's what I'm going for. There's more iron in particular. That's free range and that's organic, which is better? They both have their advantages, obviously, but free range implies that the animals are eating plants and they are going to have more DHA in their system, and that is going to give you more DHA. These are the fatty acids that really help you on a cellular level. Thing is, you kinda gotta look up the companies, you gotta kinda know where you're buying from. But free range organic would be the best. But even then, you know, labeling these days. Hmm. Jennie-O. Ground Turkey is where it's at. I make my fast Turkey chili, I make my Turkey Bolognese. Everything fast, fast, fast and awesome. But here's the thing. You want the 93% lean, the 7% fat, not this 1% fat. We want the naturally occurring fats in quality foods to help to keep us full and make our recipes delicious. Don't be afraid of natural fats. Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs. Eggs are fantastic. They are full of Omega 3 fats, they are full of vitamins and protein, obviously. And here's the thing, I want you to consider eggs for your afternoon snack. Wild Alaskan salmon. I'm not a huge fish person, but I do eat wild salmon at least once a week. My favourite preparation is grilled, um, olive oil, sea salt and lemon pepper. Lots of lemon pepper. And then when I serve it, a squeeze of lemon. Not only are you getting a super nutritious food with Omega Threes, but that extra squeeze of lemon is giving you like 30% of the vitamin C you need in a day. It's a lot just from that. New York strip steak. Steak is just about one of my most favourite foods and. But what I'm looking for is grass fed beef for sure. I want the best quality meat I can afford. Often I find it better at Whole Foods, which is not whole paycheck anymore. Especially when it comes to meat, um, I'm finding it to actually be affordable and better quality. You really want grass fed animals again, because what is going into the animal is eventually going into you. Just think about it. And there are times to be budget conscious and then there are times to say, okay, I'm gonna spend a little extra for the quality in the food. If it's something you eat all the time, buy the best quality you can afford.
