Protein

jessef593

I take in
100g of whey protein per day
50-100g of animal protein per day
And 50-100gof egg white protein per day

Along with proten gained through other sources such as oat milk, grains, nuts.

It's easy, just gotta plan ahead and spend some $$

@AnnPT77 Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you use or promote protein powder because you don't do either. I am not much of a meat eater and you gave me some ideas on how to get more protein out of a vegetarian diet without using any supplements. I hope that clarifies things or am I just digging a deeper hole.

No worries! I wasn't upset or anything like that by your comment. It's more that I flag-wave sometimes (😉) about it being *possible* to get a decent amount of protein on a vegetarian diet, without *necessarily* using protein supplements per se, if people don't *want* to use them. Since you can see my diary, but others can't, I just wanted to clarify that I haven't been misrepresenting about not using protein powder. 😆

I have a pretty strong personal bias toward "get nutrients from traditional foods" for myself, but I don't think others need to follow that - not at all.

I am biased to getting my protein in all ways possible. My protein dessert! You have seen it

(snip delish image, for reply length)

i have no quarrel with that.

IMO: Getting the protein (and good overall nutrition generally) is the biggest thing. Getting it enjoyably and satisfyingly is the second thing.

Everyone enjoys eating in different ways, and that's a wonderful thing - I mean that sincerely.

I'm not implying special virtue in my personal food choices. There is no virtue in them. They're just personal preferences, about *my* enjoyment.

If you are indeed lifting heavy stuff and interested in gaining lean body mass you may find the following to contain some useful information:

https://www.andybaker.com/building-a-simple-diet-for-mass/

Excerpt:

"Effective Diet is like training……it’s so simple a fool cannot comprehend it, and so brutally hard that a lazy man will refuse to accept it.

7:00am: 6 Whole Eggs scrambled with onion and peppers + 1/2 cup Oatmeal (uncooked) made with water
10:00am: 2 Scoops Whey in water + 1 Banana
1:00pm: 6 oz cooked chicken breast + 1/2 cup rice (uncooked) + 1 cup broccoli
4:00pm: (Pre-workout): 2 scoops Whey mixed with 1/4 cup Cream of Rice cereal (dry) + 1 Orange
6:00pm: (Post-workout): 1 scoop Whey mixed with 1 bottle of Gatorade (immediately post workout)
7:00pm: 6 oz Sirloin (cooked) + 1 red potato + Asparagus
10:00pm: 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

Most guys send me a diet that looks like this when I start working with them as clients:

Breakfast: Bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit
Lunch: Sandwich and some pretzels
Snack: some fruit or almonds
Dinner: whatever my wife makes

Of course they also include about 42 different types of supplements they are taking. Throw that s**t out. Spend your money on food if you want to grow."

Excellent write up thank you very much it really puts things in perspective properly for me
My only question is uncooked rice is there a difference between eating it raw and boiled

wiigelec

uncooked is for measurement purposes if you want to eat it uncooked make sure you have a good relationship with your dentist

first, what is your daily overall calorie budget? unless you're a serious bodybuilder, i can't imagine why you'd need to eat 220 grams of protein per day, which would be 880 calories from protein alone.

US dietary guidelines suggest 10-35% of calories from protein. 880 calories would be a bit less than 30% of a 3,000 calorie a day diet.

I maintain on a 3,000 calories a day, I lift and walk but have an office job and am far from a serious bodybuilder. FYI, I weigh around 205 at 6'2" and I'm in the 800-900 calories a day from protein range.

That's what I was thinking lol plus the chances of food poisoning are high eating uncooked rice
