where do you get your protein?

evilokc

Im aiming for the 1g/lb of protein. However i found that it will be difficult to consume that much. I eat a ton of eggs and protein shakes. Where are you guys getting yours?

007Aggie

Lean meat (mostly chicken breast) and Siggi's skyr style yogurt.

In an average day:
Eggs
Bread
Milk
Cottage cheese or yogurt
Granola bar (Nature Valley or Kashi)
Assorted veggies
Meat
And then possibly protein powder

MelanieCN77

Eggs, egg whites, canned tuna, chicken, ground turkey and beef, and the occasional protein bar which is more because I need to work out soon and am running out of time to fuel properly.

MelissaPhippsFeagins

Egg whites
Protein shakes or bars
Nuts
Tuna
Chicken breast
Cheese (especially cottage cheese)
Greek yogurt

I get about 1/2 of my daily intake of protein (which averages 181g/day based on a 40P/40C/20F Macro on 1800-1900 net cals/day) ) from protein powder, drinks and bars. The rest comes from soymilk, chicken, turkey, steak, tilapia and salmon and a variety of other food including but not limited to eggs, nuts, tofu, canned seafood (tuna, mackeral & sardines) and such.

I'm not aiming so high, but I get about 40% of my protein from meat, fish and seafood. About 20% from eggs and diary. About 40% from vegetable sources including grains, legumes, nuts and other vegetables.

Gallowmere1984

Greek yogurt
Eggs
Stew meat
Protein powder and bars
Tuna
Various chicken parts
Various turkey parts
I'd eat an entire pig, eyes and all if given the chance

I actually have to pay more attention to the other macros, or I'd end up over 400g/day protein without even trying.

Rice
Bread
Trail mix
Nut butters
Whole grains
Oatmeal
Whey concentrate
Whole fat milk
Beef
Pork
Chicken
Chickpeas
Eggs
Turkey

for me and because i am from morroco and anchovies are very cheap here ( 4 kilos for 1$ )
i eat them a lot CHECK them on google -great nutritional values-.
i don't know the price of anchovies in your country but they will be pretty high i think.
so protein for you gonna be expensive ( HARD TRUTH )
i have the same goals as you 2 g/KILO and that cost me only 0.15$
if you are on a budget try protein powder whey maybe but it will still expensive.
HARD TRUTH and you must accept it.
or you can go to lentils but you must eat half kilo of them. you can't do it with cooking on with water and oil but you can try something like throwing them on an empty pan and let them burn then make them like a powder and store them then you do some math to fill you shaker add water and drink the *kitten*

8.8# of anchovies for $1?? That's about 11.3 cents per pound or less than 3/4 cent per ounce. Could never beat that price for any seafood.

Best price I've ever gotten for seafood was $1 for a 10 oz of canned mackeral or 7 oz can of sardines at my local Dollar Store, which cost about 10-12 cents an ounce. Good source of protein at about 42-65g per can. Still have a lot of both in my pantry.

I like to get protein from food and tbh 1g per 1lb sounds like too much, like unnecessary.

Protein shakes, dairy, eggs, poultry, beef, pork, sausage. I am pleased to get 107 g daily which is easy with 1 protein shake, 2 eggs, and 6 ounces of the various beasts. The amount to aim for is 1 gram/1 kilogram of body weight. American bros tend to not know the difference between pounds and kilograms.

1gr per pound is a lot. What do you weigh?

At 4k calories and only aiming for 150ish, it's pretty easy for me to get enough.

Greek yogurt, stews, black coffee, quesadillas, lentils, beans, cheese, eggs, oatmeal, rice, potatoes...

I eat a lot of chicken, tuna, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, broccoli, spinach and edamame. The majority of my protein (unfortunately) comes from my one protein shake x day. IsoPure Zero Carb has 50 g of protein for 210 calories. Best macros I've found. That gets me to almost half of my goal and I reach the remainder with real food on most days.

You're welcome!

P.S. How much are you trying to get? I'm assuming you eat meat/fish. I'm a 61-year-old woman weighing in the 120s, and getting a minimum of 100g (often substantially more) on a vegetarian diet. Seems like it would be easy, eating meat.

Review your diary daily, look for things that bring relatively many calories but no protein, and substitute some food(s) you enjoy that do have protein. I predict you'll be surprised how fast it adds up.

Today I'm getting 50g from the Subway sub I'm eating for lunch and then I'll get 10 more grams from the oatmeal supper I'm having. This is more than my minimum protein requirements.

livingleanlivingclean

I eat 140/150g a day, and haven't used protein powder/bars in months.

Lean meat (chicken breast, roo, steak, white fish), eggs, dairy (Yoghurt, cheese) and I eat mountains of vegies - the protein from them adds up quite quickly. Nuts have a little...
