High Protein (> 175g) diets?

Basically one way to look at it is eat like you were a vegetarian who was being conscious about getting protein into their diet. And then also eat a lot of meat. Followed by a protein shake.

This is probably the best way to sum it up... I have a couple of vegetarian friends who lift some serious weights (so probably focus on protein). I think I'm going to harass them for food substitute ideas... and then eat meat/protein shakes on top of it.

Deli meats by the pound

These things help me hit my macros

I do supplement with whey protein powders, but they are quite EXPENSIVE, and I'd rather them be an after-workout thing to take advantage of the window or only necessary on the occasional day, instead of becoming a necessary staple in my diet.

I buy the following 5 lb. bag from Sams Club. It comes out to about $0.45 per scoop of 20g of protein. I normally have 4 a day which adds 80 grams of protein at only about $1.80. That's really a good value in my book.

Chicken is close to the same in cost but there's the added expense of cooking it because I like to use charcoal. Still it's not much more and there's no way I would just have protein shakes for every meal. Grilled chicken is yummy, yummy. Check the food diary.

I eat a ton of protein as well. You can add me as a friend if you'd like to look at my diary to see where I get the protein from. It's mostly from chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, milk, and protein powder.

i eat a minimum of 150g of protein per day, but usually end up closer to 165.

in order to reach my protein goal, i include a solid amount of protein per meal. for example, i have chicken breast for breakfast with eggs. at lunch i have turkey burger, and at dinner i have salmon. i eat a lot of other carbs/fat along with these things though.
