    How are you getting your 150g of protein

    Ok, the "Fat loss for noobs" thread, the mention is made to "get enough protein", and a formula was provided to get that number. Most people in that thread needed about 150g minimum, and I am probably around that number maybe higher.

    So in that thread I've been wearing people out on a particular issue, and I apologize for it a little but something was wrong with my program, and I just discovered it is that I am currently eating probably barely half of my necessary protein.

    I am a multi-sport accomplished athlete and have lifted with competitive body builders at different times in my life, but am a disaster in the kitchen and know very little about nutrition. Things have opened up for me in the last 6 months to finally solve those last two problems and basically last night I figured out that I am way below the recommended level of protein mentioned in that thread. I think this is really a contributing factor to the problem I was discussing in that thread (you can go read that if you feel like, no need to rehash it here).

    So due to my kitchen handicaps, I was wondering if people can describe how they achieve 150+ grams of protein in a day. I'm at a loss. I don't really care how you do it, and don't want this thread to turn into a debate on the merits of getting it from shakes or real food, but please explain what you're eating daily that gets you to that number. I am not doing that and it may make a big difference for me.

    Thanks.

    If it's not too much to ask, if you could also include the calories, save me time looking it all up, particularly if you already have it handy.

    What I've been doing recently is cubing up chicken breast or london broil steak and weighing it out on a digital scale (~500g for 150g of protein). Cubing the meat was easier for me to accurately weigh out the meat with out guessing what needed to be removed from a large breast,etc. After a while you can pretty much eye ball without having to weigh out the meat. Then I split the meat equally (depending on your # of meals) and then I just toss them on metal skewers then grill them up and enjoy one skewer per meal. For me its extremely quick and easy. With that said, I highly recommend a digital scale and researching the nutritional facts for your protein sources via fitday or similar sites.

    Total cals: 1718.. and then there are some additional things, like fish pills and tomato paste that add flavor, and a few extra cals to get up to about 1900.
    Total protein: 178.5g

    We have all taken a lot of time to research calorific value for food, I would suggest doing the same using something like fitday.com
    The body doesn't struggle to lose weight...the mind does - keep measurements, keep your sanity.

    I'm an Englishman living in Canada...oh how I miss a decent curry!

    1st meal; 5 egg whites + 1 whole egg; 3-4 oz' lean beef;
    2nd meal; 1 cup cottage cheese;
    3rd meal; Salad/cucumbers with 4oz chicken breast + 1 tbsp olive oil;
    4th meal; 1.5 scoops protein shake;
    5th meal; 6-8 oz Salmon/Codfish; 1 cup broccoli;
    6th meal; (optional) 1.5 scoops protein shake w/3 egg whites blended in;

    I think this puts me pretty close to 200g protein.. I'm a little over because I'm cutting right now for my first time, and I'm trying to preserve the little amount of muscle that I have;

    Hope that helps.. I didn't feel like looking up the grams of protein per meal exactly, but it falls between the 25-40g per meal scale.

    I have a few other things I substitute in there, such as a 5egg white+1/2 cup oatmeal, 1.5 scoop protein w/2 tbsp's water. Cook this up on the griddle and you got yourself some bomb pancake (or crepes'; spread on some sugar free jam and top with sugar free syrup gently; and boom, heaven in your face)

    Enjoy

    150 is not a universal amount. You need 1-1.5 g per lb of lbm. You need to do more research. Fat is an equally important macro

    I do what Wave does/did.

    5 scoops of Whey split in 2 shakes = 520 calories and 110g of protein.

    This leaves a buffer of about 1500 calories left to consume for the day. I just make sure to eat at least 8 to 12 oz of meat. There you go.

    It is ridiculously easy to get 150g protein.

    Dont even need a protein shake to get there.

    Meat, Cottage Cheese, Greek Yogurt, Milk, Cheese. Usually how I get there

    Agreed. I think its better to get your Protein from actual foods also, because you get the extra nutrients.

    But how do you know that the Chicken Breast I buy contains the same amount of protein/fat that yours does? Always best to use the 'Create a Custom Food' function on Fitday.com, otherwise your macros can (and will) be WAY out!

    Take the time - its worth it.

    Aiming for 150g prot. Usually on non workout days:

    2 chicken legs (drumstick and thigh) : 80 - 110g (depending on size)
    4-6 whole eggs : 30g

    Rest is made of some milk, cheese, or protein shake if necessary to hit macros.

    On workout days, i swap chicken legs and eggs for 600g chicken breast : 120g

    Cheers

    I'm baking 2 perch fish fillet right now. Let's see how this will go.

    I can't find any protein-rich food in my house, so this fish better not stick to the pan.

    EDIT: 2 perch fish fillet is about 20~25g protein.

    I debate with myself whether or not to have TWO servings of protein powder a day (pre & post work out) or just have ONE (post workout). But I've stuck with one so here we go:

    1 serving (2 scoops) = 50g
    8oz-16oz Chicken Breast (skinless & boneless) - 60-125g
    *** Today I'm having a 16oz chicken breast (Yes, each package comes with 2 and it weight 1.9lbs a package so roughly 1lb per breast & I eat one breast per day for dinner) so today the chicken is, let's say, 115g.

    4 egg whites - about 12g.

    (Didn't have egg whites today)
    So I've already amounted to rougly 165g of protein today.

    ****These nutritional values are based on the Calorie Counter app I use for my Blackberry.


    Edit: & I just ate about 4oz of salmon so that's an additional 24g?
    Totaling up to 189 approximately.

    Easiest ways I use to get protein with low calories:

    Chicken Breast - about 200-250 calories and 50g for 8oz
    Shrimp - about 200-250 calories and 50g for 8oz
    Shake - about 200 calories and 35-40g (this all depends on how you mix it; I use skim milk)

    Lean fish is really good as well, but I don't use it as much. 93/7 or 96/4 ground beef are also reasonable.

    There's lots of options though if your macros leave room to open up the calories. Lots of meats, yogurt (and greek yogurt), eggs, and protein bars all have homes for me.

    Just make sure meat, fish or eggs are the centerpiece of every meal. It's pretty simple.

    Quick tip, I was really struggling with fitting in time to make my egg whites and ****, so I found some egg white powder on line, it is flavourless and if you add some scoops to say your morning shake/oats you get the same benefit as having them.

    Not as easy for a broke (literally) college freshman....

    Spinach & chicken salads, greek yogurt, protein shakes, and fish (all the free **** I can get on campus) is how I get ma proteinz, unfortunately I'm definitely a bit low at the moment on my protein intake....

    I aim for about 200 grams of protein per day and about 1900-2000 calories. I am doing Leangains so I keep carbs higher on training days and fats higher on off days and. This is an example of a training day. On an off day, I would throw in more whole eggs, bacon, fatter cuts of meats etc., instead of the potato and rice.

    Lunch
    1 cup rice 200 cal 4g protein
    10oz chicken breast 300 cal 60g protein

    Dinner
    Potato 300 cal
    7.75 oz Top loin steak 440 cal 81g protein
    3 cups broccoli 162 cal 12g protein

    Desert
    1 1/2 cups ff cottage cheese w/ 1 cup strawberries & splenda 290 cal 45g protein
    3 tbps peanut or almond butter 270 cal 9 g protein

    Totals 1962 calories 211g protein.

    It's pretty easy to get lots of protein even without shakes as I only have shakes once in awhile. (throw it in some oatmeal or something for desert)
