I'd get really sick of chicken then...
you can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, chicken-kabobs, chicken creole, chicken gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple chicken, lemon chicken, coconut chicken, pepper chicken, chicken soup, chicken stew, chicken salad, chicken and potatoes, chicken burger, chicken sandwich. That- that's about it.
Cook chicken for me.0 -

Not eating processed because I'm basically a wannabe hippie....trying to keep it natural, plus I have pretty bad stomach issues, so keeping away from all the 'extra' stuff that I don't really know what it is, means I know exactly what is going it..
But then someone dangles a bit of processed yumminess in front of my and all my 'hippie' values go straight out the door...I love food.

Agree with this guy.
I love my trainer. But every time she tells me to change or try something, I research it. She is a great lady who is teaching me form for heavy lifting, but she's young and not a 400 dollar and hour trainer to the stars.
Check out what your trainer is telling you! Even on form/exercises. I know it seems redundant because why would you pay for a trainer if you could learn everything online....Oh...wait.0 -

I think that is way more protein than your body can use. Lentils are a personal favorite for me!0

Hippies don't have personal trainers. That's for yuppies.
So you're going to have to make up your mind.

Dairy is some of the BEST form of protein you can consume...it is the easiest form of protein for your body to digest, and utilize so I've heard...
That being said, nothing wrong with pasteurized egg whites (think egg beaters), cottage cheese, greek yogurt (stick to plain...and add blueberries, etc.....to the Mix yourself to monitor the sugar), KEFIR is another good one...it may be found next to the yogurt, or even in the "milk case" at your local grocer...it's basically a yogurt-ized (lol?) smoothie lol. It's got the consistency of yogurt, but you can drink it by the glass.....easy. I get the strawberry kind...it's also very rich in probiotics which will aide in digesting all of this protein you are consuming.
I don't know wat 50% comes out to be for you...but in the fitness world, I have heard of people eating 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight......
Also, don't forget the produce department...you'll be amazed at how much protein you can find over there!
Sweet Potatoes
Edamame
Nuts, Seeds, of all kinds!

The chart is a little silly.
Let's say I'm trying to 150g of protein in a day. That's slightly lower than the OP, but not a lot.
Yes, 100g of chicken breast has 23g of protein. I don't know how they're getting the numbers for Broccoli, which has 4.17 grams of protein for 148g serving (if we believe the usda database).
Simple math was never my strong suit. Feel free to double check me
Now...I could reach that protein goal by eating about 23oz of chicken breast (or about 1.44 lbs). That's not that much chicken spread throughout the day.
or...
You could eat 11.79 pounds of Broccoli for an equivalent amount of protein. My colon would hate me, but egad man.

Eating that much protein will get very old very fast, deplete your food budget and result in farts that will kill a number of small animals.
That being said, a plate beans with a mountain of ground pork and a glass of skim milk would be a decent meal that would fit your goals without completely breaking your wallet.0 -
I'm not even past page one on comments yet and Godwin's Law is in effect. That's a new record.0

I think 188g of protein is going to do strange/unpleasant things to your digestive system. I just figured 1g of protein per lb of lean body mass (which I estimated from the military body fat calculator and looking at photos to estimate online). For most people it's going to come out at 80-110g.
Sources of protein I like include fat-free greek yogurt (you can stir it into soups that would normally be cream-based, which is nice now the weather's cooler), chicken, fresh fish, tinned fish, beans and lentils (I always have a container of cooked beans in the fridge, you can add them to loads of things, and they have tons of fiber too. I use them instead of potatoes to thicken soups), nuts and seeds have a lot of fat but they do have protein as well and fiber so they are a nice addition to things, also lots of vegetables have protein in. If you want to avoid protein smoothies etc (I do as well from personal preference), it's possible to get a good whack just by adding a protein source at every meal, and adding in other stuff like beans to make it more interesting.
If you increase protein, make sure you get plenty of fiber or you'll end up bunged-up.0 -

there is a recipe for protein pancakes (egg white, cottage cheese, oatmeal) very good
Are you trolling the OP? Cottage cheese, jerky, greek yogurt and pb2 are all highly processed foods
i have no time for that BS- you forum natzis are weird sometimes picking apart answers, i didn't only say those things-she said she didnt want shakes, those are other options. take eit easy
It was kind of a valid question given the OPs post...because I'm trying to stay away from processed foods.
By giving her foods that seem to directly oppose her desire to stay away from processed foods, it comes across as a little baiting.
Now if you want to get into a discussion about why she cares so much about processed foods, that would be fair, but there are other ways to do that.
except most whey is just dehydrated whey from milk- it's completely "natural" and something I believe if you are motivated to do enough on your own- you can.
But I would just drink full milk.0 -
