    My TDEE is 2600 calories
    Going by 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein I should be have 200g protein per day
    Minus a 20% deficit for weight loss, that brings it to 160g per day

    I'm getting 80-88g per day from chicken and eggs.. any suggestions of where to get the other 80g from?

    More chicken and eggs.

    Supplements, Fish, Pork, Lean Steaks, Greek Yogurt, and such.

    I did 128g of protein today and I ate: chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, milk, whole eggs and egg whites. No supplements were used.

    Whey protein shakes for sure.

    Or egg white protein powder if you're allergic to whey like I am lol. And Greek yogurt has over double the amount of protein than regular yogurt. Eggs, egg whites, lean chicken, fish, etc etc...I struggle trying to get 200g per day, although I'm doing ok with the 140g I tend to get each day. It's hard when you're allergic to dairy...I'm lucky I'm doing ok w the Greek yogurt but that's b/c the whey is strained out and that's where my allergy is with dairy...Good luck!

    I throw Fage greek yogurt on everything! (bowls of beef and avocado, tacos, fruit)

    i use unflavored protein powder in pancakes, omelets (makes them fluffier).

    i use chocolate protein powder & egg to make quick single serve brownies,
    as well as blended in coffee with milk and ice for a mocha coffee drink!

    You don't think that much protein unless you're going on an extreme bulking kick.

    Eat .8-1g protein per pound of body weight. If you're significantly overweight, eat that number applied to your Target weight instead of your current weight.
