What are some of your fav ways to consume 160+ grams of protein a day? Something that wouldn’t bore you to death every day, but yet, is simple.
Chicken breast (grilled warm, or chopped for snacks), Greek yogurt, Tuna can, eggs (any way, boiled for snacks), Tempeh, Protein powder, Beef (any parts, organs too), Pork, Duck, Lamb, Fish, Cottage cheese
So many options out there. It’s easy when you make your meals, get at least 40-50g per meal and fill up the rest of the plate with veggies/carbs and good fats.
I always have in my fridge: cooked grilled chicken, cooked ham slices, turkey ham, tuna cans, boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese. It’s my basics for snack or when I’m too lazy to cook a steak
Daily I make a whey protein shake with vital proteins collagen added to get me around 50 grams just there. A greek yogurt (15) and a store bought protein shake (premier protein is currently my favorite) gets me another 30. 4 ounces of chicken breast at lunch every day is another \~ 25. So I’m at 120 grams before accounting for a breakfast or dinner. I typically go well over 200 grams a day now even staying at around 2,000 calories/day.
For me its Nuts (ones in my store contain 1200 cal and 60g of protein per 200g), Chicken breast (idk about calories you can look it up but 30g+ of protein per 100g), ground beef isnt as big one but 14g of protein per 100g, literally any meat is super protein dense, then whey protein is a pretty big one obviously, then bacon is absolutelly insane with 37g of protein and 541 calories per 100g, i extremelly recomend it, then obviously you can get protein bars and protein shakes in store but those are a bit more expensive, then you can eat eggs with usually around 7g of protein per egg, i extremelly recommend hard boiled eggs because they are very easy to eat and make, you can eat one in 2-3 bites and eat them for quick breakfast although i do not recommend eating them every day in big numbers because of very high cholesterol in eggs. Those are pretty much all i can remember right now and i hope some of those helped you, take care stay strong 💪🏼
Its a myth, you dont need that much protein, Carbs are more important replenish your glycogen stores . aim for 50-70 grams of Protein, Carbs should be around 150- 200 g
I wouldnt recommend these amounts if your diabetic though.
I don’t care for protein shakes so i keep things simple:
I make a breakfast casserole that includes 2 eggs per serving plus some sausage. I have one after my workout and another a couple hours later. (24g each)
For lunch, I usually have 2 servings of 150g of shredded chicken. Toss in a half cup of beans for a little extra protein and fiber. (50g each) (BBQ sauce helps)
That gets me most of the way. I also have some yogurt for a snack.
Dinner is often more chicken, but I do switch it up often.
If you’d like, I can get you the breakfast recipe. It’s super easy and you can modify it to your liking.
Chugging shakes, adding protein powder to Greek yogurt, mixing egg whites into eggs, this is underrated but find a dipping sauce that you LOVE and buy the blackened tenders at Costco! It’s basically tasty chicken breast
Easy, 2 shakes a day. The milk I use has 10g of protein per cup, 30 from my powder. - 40g x2200g of chicken breast I think is around 50g
Looking at the shakes as 2 snacks, and the chicken as one meal with a salad, u still have room for 2 meals.
