Protein Facts for Busy Moms

Running after kids and meeting deadlines at work can be exhausting. Give yourself a boost of energy during the lulls in your day and get the right amount of protein with Hiland Dairy. Why protein? Here are three facts about this important nutrient that you should know:

1. Not All Proteins Are Created Equal.

High-quality protein foods, including Hiland Dairy Greek Yogurt and Hiland Dairy Cottage Cheese, make it easy to get the essential amino acids your body needs for building lean muscle.

2. Research Shows That 10 to 35 Percent of Daily Calories Should Come From Protein.

That is 50 to 175 grams per day, based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

3. Protein Should Be Consumed at Each Meal.

Spreading your protein intake out throughout the day helps curb hunger and aids in weight management. Drink a glass of Hiland Dairy Milk at breakfast, lunch and dinner!
