High Protein Diet

Lean meats, legumes (nuts), egg white, turkey, chicken, fish, tuna, even beef jerky just the regular lean kind is a great snack, black beans. Nuts and tuna have good fats in them so dont worry to much about their fat content.

complex carbs like whole wheat grains are good carbs and your body needs those but not to many. Stay away from enriched flour aka white breads. Skip white rice go with brown rice.

Add in filler vegetables like lettuce, onions, tomatoes, celerey, and fruits like apples.

I dont worry about sugars but I stay away from sugary foods cause there is sugar in EVERYTHING now days and you wont have a problem hitting the total for that.

lots of eggs, meat, fish, poultry.

Nuts in moderation. A high-quality dark, dark chocolate. There's even a decent amount in leafy greens.

Cheeses, yogurts, diary.

Make sure you are getting plenty of fat with that protein (do some searching on "rabbit starvation"). Too much lean protein without plenty of fat isn't healthy.

There is no need for 40% of your diet to come from protein. The body can only use so much (it can't store excess dietary protein but does keep an amino acid reserve). Eat 1g per pound of lean body weight (for me that's 90g). And it will also use protein for glucose. BUT - once that part is taken care of (this is only if the body needs glucose at the time and you haven't consumed any) but the rest is converted to fat. Might as well eat the fat.

I'm sorry but the quality of protein in grains (which is incomplete) and legumes (this will give you the amino acid that grains do not contain) doesn't come close to the quality of the protein in animal foods. Get your protein through animal foods. (You have to eat like 4 bowls of oatmeal to get the same amount of protein as 4oz of steak. And the steak contains complete protein.) I'll take the steak - preferrably with a chunk of butter or blue cheese on it!!

Am not sure where you are in the world? But corned beef here in the UK is high in protein, low in everything else and yummy. Along with lean bacon...as well as all the regular chicken/fish/egg type stuff.

I am always well over on protein, it isn`t too hard if you put your mind to it

Supplementing your chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, fish etc with a couple of protein shakes uring the day is the best way to attaining that 40%. I'm bulking an I can tell you that even I find it a bit of a challenge! Lay off the carbs after your 5th meal or at diner too.

Eat more animals.

more meats, cheeses, eggs, nuts, sugar free jello for snacks, diet soda and crystal light for drinks

Eggs, cottage cheese, lean meats, almonds, Greek yogurt, peanut butter

I eat all of these and im usually way over my proteins amount, I do eat these all in one day too lol

Eggs, cottage cheese, lean meats, almonds, Greek yogurt, peanut butter

^This!

I've been making chicken breasts and a peanut sauce that's mostly peanut butter with a little soy sauce and maple syrup to dip it in and make it taste better. I love Trader Joes's "just a handful of almonds" because they are portioned out and I can easily keep them with me for a snack. Also, I make a lot of greek yogurt smoothies with frozen fruit and a little milk. I can't eat bananas, but I heard greek yogurt with peanut butter and bananas is good. I also like mixing canned, rinsed and drained, warmed black beans with some salsa for a tasty, quick snack. And I've been working hard at eating eggs or yogurt at breakfast. I found I can microwave eggs in a big ceramic bowl at work and they come out like a fluffy omelet (because the bottom of the bowl is big and pretty flat - you need the sides because it swells up when cooking) and then sometimes I put a little feta and make like an omelet.

I love fish but don't like cooking it, so I mostly get my protein from chicken or beans

eggs, plain greek yogurt, turkey bacon, fish, chicken, turkey, pork, almonds, low fat string cheese and other stuff

protein shakes, chicken breasts (cheap, little fat), red meat (i eat a pound of 93/7 beef everyday), tuna (cheap, no fat), cottage cheese (cheap, low fat), greek yogurt (little expensive, has carbs)

everyday i eat:
- 1 pound of 93/7 beef
- 2 whey shakes in water, 2 scoops each shake
- 4 cups of 1% milk
- 1, sometimes 2 fiber bars
- 1 cup of oatmeal

thats about 2000 cals right there with very good sources of protein and carbs. this was my main cutting diet and will be the staple of my bulking diet
