• 96/4 Lean Ground Beef: "140g of cooked ground beef provides 40g of protein. I cook it in bulk and make burger patties or use it for my pasta," she added.
• Egg whites: "200g of liquid egg whites will give you only 108 calories and 22g of protein. You can add liquid egg whites to your full eggs for more protein and more volume. I mix a cup of egg whites with 2 full eggs or use it for my French toast or my pancakes," she revealed.
