Focusing on protein intake after bariatric surgery is a recommendation that promotes faster healing, longer satiety, increases potential weight loss, and is a main building block for adding and maintaining muscle. Bariatric patients only have so much space in their stomach, so picking the right foods is essential. Protein is in a lot of foods but that doesn’t always mean that the source is of high quality. Let’s look at some protein ideas that have health benefits and can help you in meeting your macro and fitness goals!

 

In this presentation we talk about:

• Lean Cuts of Meat and “Out of the Box” Preparations
• Dairy Protein Choices
• Vegetarian Sources
• Snacks on the Go
• Supplementation and Bars
