My favorite NSV ever!!!!!

Congratulations!! I struggle with protein too, I know where you're coming from. But 116!? That's huge! Good on you

Woo!!!!!

Same!!!!! Are you vegetarian??? I am. Feel free to add....and we can compare proteins. I make not of mine every day. )

I have a hard time getting all my protein sometimes, too. I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat like one most of the time. The only kind of meat I can eat is lean turkey, chicken or fish (due to a digestive disorder) and that gets old, so most days of the week I am meatless. I've never been a big meat eater, so no real loss there. I like vegetarian meals, but it can be a struggle hitting all my macros - especially since my disorder limits a lot of my non-meat choices too... I usually get the minimums in, though. You're getting a lot more in than I do. Good work getting that protein up! :drinker:

Hi,

Just had a look in your diary, congrats on the higher protein intake! It's really important to have a decent amount of protein in your diet, so keep it up. Just want to warn you, don't become one of those 'junk-food-vegetarians'. Eating enough protein is important, eating healthy and balanced is even more so.
If I were you, I would've cut out either the 'Refried Beans - Vegetarian' (cal: 280 protein 16) or the 'Pizza - Cheese - Home Run' (cal: 254 protein 13) from my menu. You already had plenty of protein, and you might have stayed within your goals of cal / carbs / fat too.

If you have one egg white (you can just throw out the yolk), you eat about the following nutricients:
cal: 16

carbs: 0

fat: 0

sat fat: 0

protein: 4

Spreading 4 of those out throughout the day, you'll also have 16g of protein, but no added carbs or fat. Whereas the pizza piece you ate gave you 254 cal you didn't really need.

One more question, if you up your protein level, it doesn't harm you to drink more water. Do you log the amount of water you drink?
