How to Raise Low Protein Levels

To maintain a healthy body and muscular system you need to ingest protein throughout the day. Receiving a minimal amount of protein can cause the muscles in your body to shrink and wither. Increasing your low protein level can rebuild your muscles to a healthy form, and increasing your protein level does not mean you need to increase your calorie and fat intake levels.

Instructions

• 1

  Drink a protein shake for breakfast. This is an easy way to increase your protein level and start of your morning with a strong metabolism. Mix protein powder with water or low-fat milk and you can easily ingest 20 grams of protein for breakfast (the daily recommendation is around 50).

• 2

  Eat chicken or turkey products for lunch. Poultry typically has a high protein count with a minimal calorie and fat count, so all you are eating is healthy protein.

• 3

  Snack on cheese or yogurt throughout the day. Eating a few slices of cheese or a small cup of yogurt between meals can keep your metabolism up while giving you an added boost to your low protein level.

• 4

  Eat lean cuts of meat or fish for dinner. Most meat is going to have a high amount of protein and fish is going to have large protein levels while harboring next to no fat.

• 5

  Drink another protein shake a few hours before going to bed. This is going to keep you from snacking during the night and give you a last push to your protein level.
