ok question on protein

eriny

ok to some hard headed but i need more protein in my daily intake as i am eating 1400 - 1900 cal a day while doing p90x 6 week 4 day i have been told to take shake or powder to increase protein amount as i need 200 g daily if i did it right m 43 weight 219
some body has to be doing this natural ( good foods ) if so can you help also trying to watch sodium intake trying to keep it at 1500 to 2000 mg daily .. nothing against pills shakes drinks powders but so far all results drug free just mfp and food
also as everthing i find i google it it does have possible side effects :sick: thanks for reading :flowerforyou:

it's gonna have to be chicken breasts then and ground turkey. If you can find them, Sommers Organic extra lean burgers have 25 g in each qtr lb burger and low sodium. Egg whites are an ok source as well, but I find it hard to stomach a large amount of them and each one has only 5 g.

eriny

any lean meat! I eat cube steak..not breaded or fried! chicken breasts, tuna, eggs...if you have say an omlet at some point with another protein in it that helps! I do love these protein shakes called Metobolic Reset...they taste great, but i see your not a fan

eriny

well not that i am a fan just trying to do whats best

eriny

i eat only grilled baked meat and i forgot tuna but on tuna do u eat it raw or can i add stuff

chrisdavey

as above, lean meats only really. tuna in a can is fairly high sodium as is cottage cheese. Both great sources of protein though.

Personally, I would just go with a whey protein shake (and I do )

Whey protein is a natural derivative of milk. Its pure protein and a great way to not only meet your protein goals but to also recover after a workout. Not all whey is created equally though. Usually, the more expensive a product is the more natural it is.

Trader Joe's has a great protein shake that has 20 or 35 grams of protein for 110 calories. It's a great afternoon snack and they're pretty tasty. I like the chocolate one.
