Need Help getting enought protein!

[eweter28]

Hello everyone,
My husband and I started the 100,000 challenge yesterday and I am struggling with getting enough protein. I have been supplementing with whey protein but I am not much of a meat eater. I am allergic to pork and my husband to seafood so we tend to stay away from those proteins. I was hoping that everyone could suggest some alternatives to eating meat so that I can get enough protein to continue building muscle. I really want to succeed at this and want to make sure I am getting enough from my food. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Meat is the most protein dense.... you are going to be eat a fair quantity of stuff if you avoid it.

Eggs
Natural yogurt and other dairy
Beans, peas, lentils, nuts

Beans, eggs, and milk are also good sources of protein but the way I understand it though is that lean meat is your best source for muscle building protein because of all the other "stuff" it has in it. This is off the top of my head, I've read a few different articles on the subject on various web sites but don't have the links at the moment.

Other than meat, the protein I eat comes from eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and whey powder.

How's about chicken?

I use myofusion to help. A shake in the morning and before bed.

Besides some meat and fish, we eat hard boiled and scrambled eggs, greek yogurt and regular yogurt, lentils, steel cut oats (has some protein), cottage cheese, natty pb, and ON whey protein. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but that's a good base of what my wife and I eat.

Special K cereal / Kashi Go lean. both offer about 9 -14 protein per cup (around 140 cals) if you add a cup of soy milk you can even get more protein
greek yogurt-depends on what you buy - has about 19-25g protein

Try greek yogurt, egg whites, and Northern beans they have are high in fiber and have a good amount of protien. Also Ezekiel bread has some protein and is good with egg whites for breakfast

Well if u dont eat much meat, here is what i eat since i dont eat any meat.. U have eggs, tofu, lentils, tempeh, greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, soy milk or regular milk, nuts and peas.. Just some more option for you since you dont have to go about thinking there isnt enough protein sources without meat.. But chicken, lean turkey are very high protein and good sources!

Another great source is Olympian Labs Pea Protein. 25 grams per scoop and it tastes great. My 8 year old son LOVES shakes made with this.

Probably going to need some whey shakes. I take 40g of whey when I wake up and 40g an hour before bed.
