Hello! Thank you for writing. Try to combine exercise with a high protein diet. Try to intensify a little bit your workout in order to increase your
metabolism. An adult should take in his/her diet 0,8 g/kg/protein per day. I will list below different kind of foods and their mass of
proteins. It's important that we all eat enough protein each day. If you know about how much protein you need, this list will help you figure out which foods will help you achieve that goal, including plant and animal sources of protein.
