in Introduce Yourself

I’m working on a calorie deficit with a diet high in protein. Aiming for 1500 calories a day with 124g of protein.

I’m open to trying some new easy high protein hits. My current favourite being scrambled egg whites first thing in the morning with whatever veg I have available.

Some days are better than others! I’m still trying to work out a healthy eating schedule when I’m staying away from home. It’s like learning a new skill!

    There’s lots of high protein breakfasts but you’d have to eat an awful lot of egg whites to get any meaningful amount of protein.

    I add half a serving of collagen powder to my coffee every morning. That’s about 10gr of protein right there.

    My two preferred breakfasts are chocolate pancakes I amp up with cottage cheese, whey powder, peanut butter powder, and milk. They are about 30 or so grams of protein per serving.

    if I haven’t had time to make a big batch of pancakes, I have two servings of cottage cheese, and stir in a tablespoon of honey and some unsweetened 5-grain muesli, also abi it 30 gr protein.


    With the collagen powder, that gives me a strong 40gr to start my day.

    Lots of people here have leftovers for breakfast.

    For lunches, I make sure I have leftover grilled, smoked or rotisserie chicken, pork, of lean steak in the fridge. Chopped up with mayo lettuce tomato or a small dash of BBQ sauce, it’s an easy high protein wrap.

    Or, I’ll dice raw chicken breast, brown it I. A dry pan, and either seasoning for salad, or add some honey buffalo sauce right before it’s done browning (keeps the chicken moist) and throw it onto a wrap.

    There’s so many creative options to get that protein that, even though I eat very high protein (goal is 160-170/day), sometimes I have too many and have to reel it in and shoot for more carbs.

    Much success to you!
