Hey there MFPers :)

I just went and got my TDEE -20%, and my macros numbers online, and I am supposed to be eating a LOT more protein than I already am. Any ideas besides protein shakes to bulk up protein without going calorie crazy??

    My go-to foods for protein are usually lean meats like chicken and turkey, greek yogurt, and eggs.

    My daily protein goal is 143, but I usually make it to around 100 - diary is open if you want to have a look.

    Lean meats, fish, Greek yogurt, eggs, cheese, nuts.....

    White meats (chicken, turkey, lean pork), lower in calories and high protein. Greek yogurt is good but watch the fat content. Eggs of course, if you can stick primarily to egg whites. Cheese, I prefer non-skim but that's just me! And, almonds or pistachios are a great source. If you like, milk is good as well. Try to space it out throughout the day so you don't feel like you're eating it all at once. You'll get full.

    Essentially, same as what AmyRhubarb said.
