Protein shakes are great. Also love protein bars.

Egg whites and chicken breast will give you the most bang for your buck (Costco is your best friend here!) also look for high protein Greek yogurt. Some of them have as much as 20-25 g per serving! I also love love love Buff Chicks protein powder. It’s so smooth!!

Yogurt, ground meats are easy to eat to get your protein, you can make a smoothie with protein powder Greek yogurt and egg whites and you’ll get 100 grams basically in one sitting.

I wish there was a Costco near me. I live in the middle of no where in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Beans, nuts, meat, yogurt, eggs, oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp

You can make everything high protein by incorporating a few of these things together at each meal. You can also make high protein desserts!

A good way to really boost your protein is to add hemp and flax seeds as toppers to whatever you’re eating.

Make chia seed pudding to go with your yogurt and oatmeal in the morning! You could also make high protein smoothies with chia, hemp, flax, yogurt, peanut butter, milk and chocolate powder or chocolate protein powder.

You can easily make high protein cookies with beans instead of butter and adding peanut butter and flax seeds!

You can swap out flour with ground oats and get a protein boost!

Switch up your bread: Ezekiel Bread is 5g protein per slice!

Basically switch normal things up to be their higher protein counterparts and/or add high protein additions to your meals and snacks.

When I was bodybuilding my favourite natural protein sources were:

Eggs all day 😂 boil some and just eat them
Homemade houmous
Chicken
lentils
Natural yoghurt 🫶🏻
Cheese

I eat cheerios for breakfast every day & I use a pre-made protein shake (premier protein) as the "milk".. easy way to get it in and you can switch up the flavors so it's fun 🙃

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
