I'm a little baffled at how tough eating enough protein is

[shadowofanubis]

You kidding OP? I hit ~300g a day and ~200g in an hour easy lol

How? i'm not asking for a rundown unless you want to share, but can you give me the gist of what your daily foods are?

Easy.
Lots of red meat, seafood, chicken, peanut butter, dairy, eggs. All of these are great sources of protein.

250g of chicken has something like 63g protein dont it? thats just 1 chicken wrap. eat 2 of them for lunch easy and thats over 100g right there. very easy to accomplish

[Joonyer]

I can relate to this - I used to find it quite hard. If I don't go out of my way to specifically prepare my food ahead of time, it's often quite tricky to hit 100+ without supplementing, unless you have heaps of lean meat/fish in the house at all times (which can get costly - but if you're going to spend money on anything, let it be good food!)

Make shakes from milk (skimmed or semi if you're concerned about calories - I use semi), oats, natty pb, and whey. Eat more cottage cheese. A huge favourite of mine is strained greek yoghurt. If you're in the UK, Waitrose do a 500g tub for about £1.80, and 160g of that is around 15g protein for 104cals.

And remember, if you have to get 25-50g of it from whey, don't sweat it. It's really not a big deal. Just try your best to eat well, eat a good balanced diet, but don't eat a boring bro diet or life will get real old real fast.

Last physical everything checked out fine. Not too worried about it though to be honest.

You're not worried about high sodium intake? You should be, it leads to health issues later on.

i hit 300g a day usually as well. just personal preference in foods for me

[cumminslifter]

Is this real life? I used to get 160g at 1300 cals no problem. Add some more shakes in your diet and lean protein . Good luck.

@Cummins lifter where do you get your CC. **** is pretty expensive considering a tub is 2 servings for me..

get it straight from land o lakes. got a friend who works there

As i stated before. Yearly physical checked out and check blood pressure regularly at work. I drink over a gallon of water a day and keep an eye on my potassium. So no im not too worried about the sodium im consuming from cottage cheese.

150 a day is enough. Making use of more needs some TRT

Because kangaroo, steak, bacon, eggs, turkey etc are delicious

I eat more than your 150g for dinner every night on a cut!
My favorite version:
600g rump steak
4 whole eggs(200g)
25g butter
200g beef stock
200g mushrooms
1/2 tsp crushed garlic, salt & pepper
2 tsp habanero hot sauce.

160g protein, 1370 Cal protein is filling which is why I like most of my food at dinner so I sleep well with a full stomach.

Method if anyone is interested:
Preheat oven 50-60 deg C, put a plate in to warm up.
Preheat frying pan
Salt rump steak and cook in pan to desired level, I like rare with a nice char so short time in a very hot stoneware pan.
Remove steak from pan and place on plate in oven to rest, and warm if rare else will be cold in middle.
Deglaze pan with beef stock, add crushed garlic, crack in four eggs and cover to poach them in the stock.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking(runny yolk mmm) pour the released juices from the steak into the pan and put the eggs on the plate and back in the oven to keep warm.
Now add the butter and sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook them and reduce the remaining stock into a sauce.
Served steak with eggs, salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste with the mushroom sauce poured over the top.


Lunch is 630 Cal around 50g protein.

Method for getting more protein in your stomach, insert in mouth, chew, swallow, repeat(helps if it tastes good!).

[StephSkywalker]

200+ grams of protein without even trying crew

[Beerculez]

At your weight 150g would be plenty, should not be hard to hit at all, just eat some protein with every meal. Make an omelette for breakfast with some ham, eat meat for dinner.

Why is it so hard for you to have a chicken breast and a scoop of whey protein?

Real question, not trolling. i.e. It's hard for me because I live in a third world country and it's expensive.

[Rufflez]

Dress it up with seasonings

[BenD4Me]

It's way harder to me to reach my fats than proteins... I usually need eat 42g of almonds before bed to get enough fats.

I have the exact opposite problem, I can get plenty of protein from dairy, eggs, and meat but my fats start getting high.

I usually eat 2 angus burgers and a protein shake every day. That brings me to about 80g or so of protein a day. The other 70g gets scrounged up from peanuts, peanut butter, eggs in the morning... that kind of thing.

At a certain point it does get a bit expensive. I live in the States but am fairly poor myself so I figured I'd make the topic and see what kind of things others were doing who said they could hit 200+ easy.

[SlickRick187]

didn't read the entire thread, so excuse me if its already been said, but there are plenty of cheap protein sources out there. eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, and tuna to name a few. Plus you have things like greek yogurt and fish which are a little more expensive, but buy in bulk when it goes on sale. same thing can be said for chicken. you just gotta put in a little more effort in your situation and actively look for the deals
