People that hit their protein goal everyday, what do you eat?

Seitan, but then again, I'm plant based. There are tons of high protein foods, especially if you aren't limited like I am. The suggestions here are phenomenal.

Not a good suggestion but keep in mind that the average healthy woman only needs about 44 grams of protein (unless you’re body building, pregnant etc, I’m too lazy to post the links but it’s not hard to find on dr. Google) so don’t stress that you’re malnourished if you don’t hit the goals that MyFitnessPal recommends. I went into the settings and changed them to give me a little less protein and a bit more carbs and fat since i got tired of seeing that was sadly below the protein ‘goal’ even on days I ate some meat or eggs at every meal!

(3) eggs in the morning, 6-8ish ounces of meat (chicken, beef, or pork) for lunch and dinner, and a protein shake after working out. I suppose I'm getting small amounts of protein from other sources, but those are my primaries.

I have eggs in the morning, a vegan protein shake for lunch, and chicken, pork, or beef for dinner. Snack is sometimes Halo Top or a "pizza" made from red pepper hummus Flatout bread, mozzarella, and veggies.

Soya mince, beans, pulses. I love all the beans- and they go with everything (almost).

While that may be the minimum to not be deficient it is not enough while losing weight, especially if you are doing any form of exercise. Try googling how much protein does a woman need while losing weight. You will find more and better information regarding this.

Try dividing your weight by three, then multiply that number by two and see what you get.

210 g per day of protein

1 or 2 Premier Protein shakes from Costco will usually be enough to meet your protein macros. If you don't want to go the protein shake route, have a bunch of hard boiled eggs in the fridge. They're great snacks, high in protein, and if you throw out the yolk- super low in calories.

Seitan, tofu, tempeh, fake meats, pulses, hummus, nut butters, tahini, nuts, seeds, roasted pulses (like habas fritas etc) oats, chia puddings, alpro go on yogurts, protein bars (like clif builder etc). Also sometimes use myprotein soya protein or vegan blend powders for an extra boost. HTH x

84g of 1600 calories. (ETA: ideal-ish weight at my height is ~105 lb).
mainly from leaner meat, yogurt, cottage cheese. A bit more from food bars, peanut butter, some vegetables. I usually meet it. Most seafood is ridiculously high in protein per calorie, so on days where the meat of choice was shrimp/mussels/salmon, etc, I'm usually over by a fair bit.

examples:

Yesterday:
(only a real-ish meal with meat at lunch, otherwise eating on the run - before gym, after gym at work computer, on the way to run, at salsa after run, late night after salsa)


Monday:
(Lunch soup main components were cabbage and ground turkey; dinner was actually at home for once after running group)

I hit my protein goal almost every day by consuming kefir or yogurt, bread, ice cream, meat, fruit, and vegetables.
I make my own bread and include chia seeds in my recipe. That's how I get protein in my bread. A large banana actually clocks in with 1 gram of protein. Weird but true.

Oh, yes, there is also a vegan protein shake in my lunch. It's not really cheating.

Greek yogurt, eggs, light soymilk, and protein shakes/bars.

Great northern beans and edamame fettuccine are my high protein, high potassium, and (in the case of the edamame) high iron foods.
