I've never seen kangaroo meat in local stores here in California. I took a look online and found a place that sells it. It is expensive!
Kangaroo loin is $122 for 4 pounds and ground meat is $185 for 10 pounds.
Does it taste gamey or wild?
As a teenager, I went to a family reunion in the Midwest where they served venison burgers. I thought they were regular beef burgers that had gone bad. It wasn't until after I discretely tossed mine in the trash that I learned it was actually fresh meat from a deer shot by an uncle.
I'm a Southern California girl. Our meat doesn't come from animals. It's all from the back room of the butcher department in the grocery store. ;-)0 -

Kangaroo, I think road kill. Almost hit one in the car two nights ago... I wish I was brave enough to try it :-) (from supermarket, not side of the road)eggs
chicken
steak. Whey powder.
** KANGAROO - this is my fave - the leanest cut of meat, and very high in protein...love it!
Is Kangaroo readily available in the states and elsewhere? I recommend you give it a go - just don't overcook.
cheers.0 -

I prefer to go by lean body weight rather than total weight because it makes more sense to me. Also, I feel that it's a much more achievable goal! I really don't want to have to eat things I don't want just to get my protein up. However, I do aim to get a decent amount of protein at every meal.
Apart from the foods mentioned, I've been eating a lot of fat-free quark recently.0 -

2. chicken
3.tilapia
4. canned tuna
5.canned salmon
6. eggs
7.beans
8. pork
9. shrimp/ seafood
10. cottage cheese/milk/ cheese0 -
1 Shrimp (well, really any and all seafood I can get my hands on)
2. Chicken breast
3. ground turkey
4. a wide range of beans
5. Quinoa - just discovered this, it's a new love of mine!
6. Eggs - although tests have shown that I have an egg allergy, I don't find it effects me enough to give them up!
I have trouble with the dictated amount of protein needed, I really believe that every body is different, my body thrives on protien, and find the MFP amount is way under my normal consumption.0 -

Being vegetarian makes it a bit harder to get the full protein amount, but it's something I'm working on. Things I currently have to try and boost protein are:
Eggs
Lentils & other pulses
Cheese particularly Feta cheese
Yoghurt
Soya milk
Nuts and peanut butter
I'm looking into the protein shakes, but am not really sure what's best for me at the moment.
If there are any other veggies out there, this man's site is very useful http://www.nomeatathlete.com/vegetarian-protein/ and it gives details of different types of amino acids that go into making up protein and which sources are best for getting those.
Tonight I saw that we had fava beans in our fridge. So I found an easy recipe online and made them. When I looked up the nutritional value I nearly flipped! For half a cup of fava beans you get 200+ calories, 45 grams of carbs and around 20 grams of protein!!! Good protein for a vegetarian!!0 -
I am in the beginning stages of vegetarian/vegan eating, so other than small amounts of fish and dairy a couple of times a week, I'm relying on:
1) Vegan Protein Powder, using Brown Rice, Yellow Pea and Cranberry Proteins. For those who are having a challenge with Whey, this is a great alternative. Direct Sales company, message me for info.
2) Almonds, nuts
3) Legumes
4) Lots of deep green leafy veggies/brocolli
So far -- that's it, since I avoid most soy products as well0
