    Post Difficulty eating reccomended protein per day.

    Most people on this forum will tell you you should be eating 1-2g of protein for each lb of body weight. that means i have to be eating at least 140-200g of protein a day.. which is insane. i have no idea how i'm supposed to get that much protein into my diet every single day.

    Help!

    Just take it one meal at a time. Plan your meals out so that you're eating something protein rich each meal. It'll seriously add up quicker than you think. If you just absolutely can't meet your protein requirements with food, get you a tub of whey protein if you can afford it.

    actually no it's not insane at all. i consume 300g of protein daily and it's actually hard for me to track my macros to get right there cause i'm usually going over. so 200g is easy man. lean meats are very high in protein and so are egg whites. so if you're eating good whole foods you should have no problem hitting that number at all. tuna is good as well. if you cant really consume it all right now, then do it slowly man. do 100g and slowly work your way up to 200g.

    Yea I feel yea, I felt the same at first too, but when you put into consideration 1 8oz chicken breast accounts for 64g of protein, same for other meats and fish I just used the chicken as example cause I eat it alot, which you can eat in your main meal, the other 4-7 meals can be easily added up to the rest that you need.

    If you think that 140-200g of prot is insane then you should listen to what Arnold has to say

    If you can't hit that aim for one reason or another, try to hit it by having CASEIN or EGG protein powders in morning and before bed. That's a good 60 grams right there

    Not sure if srs,

    If your goal is truly important to you, you will do whatever it takes to get there. 140g-200g protein is not an insane amount. If you can't eat it, you might as well drink it, thats what protein powders are for.

    1. Well, "most people" are wrong. you don't NEED 1-2g of protein per day.
    2. That being said, it's literally the easiest thing ever to get 140g of protein. 8 oz of chicken breast.. is roughly 48g of protein RIGHT THERE. Accompany that with some rice, cereal, etc.. get in your fats.. and you're golden. It's honestly not that hard to hit your protein macros if you know what the f*ck you're doing and you know how to eat.

    hmmm...protein drinks are one thing, try out those 5oz tuna cans! they look small so you can decieve yourself into thinking you're eating little. each has roughly 30-40 grams of protein total too!

    only drawback is it smells like death...

    Its pretty easy if you split smaller doses into each meal...
    ~160/4= 40g per meal..., if thats to much in a single meal, add in your post work out and a snack in which case you will only be needing to take in around 25g per meal.

    200g of protein seems like an awful lot at first, but once you know what to eat it's easy.


    I eat a lot of chicken/turkey, fish (Salmon, Mackerel, Tuna), eggs, nuts, greek yoghurt, drink a pint of milk with lunch every day.


    Here's a meal idea if you're really struggling.

    Most supermarkets sell tinned chilli con carne. A tin contains about 30g of protein. What I like to do is cut up a chicken breast and drop it in with the chilli. A decent size chicken breast contains about 40g of protein, chilli is about 30g - so you've got a 70g protein meal right there. Flush that down with a pint of milk (that's another 20g protein) and you've just eaten 90g of protein in one meal. If you eat that meal once a day you only need another 60g or so for the rest of the day. That's just a tin of tuna and a few eggs. Easy.

    Protein shakes are really useful as well. Be careful not to get too hung up about protein though - carbs and fats are equally as important. Just try and make sure you get over 1g per lb and you'll be golden.

    I have 450g per day when bulking and it's easy for me.

    Can of tuna = 40g ~ pretty much 1/4 of your daily target.
