100g of protein without bars or shakes?

The best bang for the buck that I've found, protein-wise, is fat-free ricotta. You get 6 g of protein at 30 calories per serving and it tastes like Italian cheesecake.

This I did not know. Must investigate.

OP, I regularly get at least 125 g per day, with no bars or shakes, and I like a lot of variety in my diet (I'm not eating plain chicken breast every day!!!) My staples are yogurt, cheese, good-quality grains, all kinds of meats, eggs, fish... Feel free to have a look at my diary.

I'm in the same boat. Today with exercise my protein goal is in the 150s :noway: In fact, on days I actually I hit my protein goal, I feel like celebrating! I have been trying to eat lots of Greek yogurt and I just recently started making smoothies with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey (vanilla) and throw some yogurt into those sometimes. I'm finding that if I have protein heavy breakfasts and lunches I do better hitting the goal. Problem is I love love steel cut oats in the morning which doesn't do a ton for my protein levels.

You can still have tonnes of protein at breakfast and have those steel cut oats.

Mix your favourite protein powder ( vanilla or unflavoured or whatever you like) with water in a shaker. Use this to cook the oatmeal in. If you serve it with an egg, depending on the protein powder you should be able to get 40 or more grams this way alone. I know this is still using protein powder, but it's better than just chucking it back.

The other thing you can do is buy the unflavoured powder, mix it with a little water (so you don't get clumps) and throw it in with whatever you are making as the liquid portion.

Shrimp - 6 ounces has about 180 calories and 36 grams of protein.

I like to wrap mine in bacon :glasses:
