Keep falling 10g of protein short

andycet

I've been usin MFP for about the past week to see where I'm going wrong on my nutrition. I see where I can cut out the last few carbs and my fats that put me over are from avocado, nuts i.e good fats but I always seem to be 10g short on my protein.

I eat yoghurt, drink protein shakes and make sure they are in my 3 main meals plus have my homemade protein bars and even putting flaxseeds on my yoghurts but going short.

Is there any other high protein/low low carb things I can put in as a snack to make me hit my targets?

my diary, this has been a rest week after 6 weeks of solid training 5 days a week,: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/andycet

Eat an egg with breakfast or morning snack.

I wouldn't worry too much. We don't need that much protein anyway. As long as you're around the 100g then don't worry.

NSCA (I seem to write this every few days) suggest 0.34 grams of protein per LEAN body weight and up to 0.8 grams for high performance athletes.

There is always room for improvement in the diet, but don't stress. Make sure it's easy and consistent so you don't fall off. Any hard/difficult changes may derail you. I use hemp, but it is high in calories too.

Replace your yogurt with a non fat greek yogurt. I eat Voskos and it's 24g protein right there...bang.
