I'm assuming you're a female? You should be able to hit your protein goal and then some with two whey shakes and a large chicken breast a day.

That's around 110g of protein. But it also depends on your weight and goals.

I supplement with a daily protein shake w/30g of protein. Otherwise I'd come up short most days.

My protein goal is 140g per day and I always get it. I make sure that my meals and snacks all have protein included. For me, it has been really helpful to pre log my meals. That way I know how much protein I need in my snacks. Snacks I use include Quest Bars, Protein Shakes, tuna, left over chicken, lunch meat, and I used to eat Greek yogurt.

Make your snacks protein based too? Nuts, nut butters, beef jerky, protein bars, dried soya beans, slices of chicken breast? These won't be game changers but every little helps.
Also 100g of Fage 0% Fat yoghurt every night before bed will give you 10g of slow release Caesin to do its work whilst you sleep and for only 57cals.

We don't know what your protein goal is, and why. Nor what you like or dislike, or if you have food restrictions because of health or ethical/religious aspects. I do fine on 70 grams protein per day, and I get it from meat, fish, eggs, dairy, grains, nuts and seeds, and a little from vegetables as well.

Sometimes I have a second protein shake if I'm not going to make my protein numbers for the day. I just need to be better at drinking water. I also have tuna on hand at work and home at all times. Greek yogurt or quark can be a great quick source of protein too.

I found these yesterday. They're screenshots so not perfect but you get the idea.

I am having the same issue. I am trying to move to a plant based diet but getting enough protein is tough. I could use some suggestions as well.

I get a lot of my protein from grains, rice, potatoes and stuff like that. Today I had a baguette with 24g protein. Some other stuff I especially enjoy for getting my protein in is seeds, 100% peanut butter (only peanuts in it, so I use it for cooking!), textured soy protein, tofu, kale, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, peas... Yum!

Double your usual serving size.

fish, nuts, chicken, eggs are my go-to's for protein. Red meat I can only eat a couple ounces because it's too fattening so it's best for me to eat chicken or fish because I can double or triple the amount I can eat versus that in red meat. Tuna is great for protein. I eat that 2-4 times per week. Very low calorie depending on how you prepare it.

Just asking for suggestions that's all thanks!

What is quark

.7 to .8 grams/day per pound LEAN BODY MASS is all you need. Any more is counter productive.
