I changed my food diary settings to fit the Body for Life goals: 40% carbs and protein and 20% fat. I am having a hard time reaching my protein calories. For example, my goals today were:
Total calories: 2,072
Carbs: 207g
Protein: 207g
Fat: 45g
Remaining as of 7pm CT:
Calories: 365
Carb: 49
Protein: 113g!!!! :noway:
Fat: -25g (went over :grumble: )
What do you suggest I eat today to eat a little more protein? And what do you suggest I eat daily to meet those requirements? I really cannot stomach anymore food. I feel very full. Thanks!!:flowerforyou:

I am also doing BFL and have the same caloric split. I do 1300 cal though so I only need 130g protein.
I find that I HAVE to drink 2 protein shakes a day in addition to eating protein with meals just to consume it all.
Here's my typical day:
B: 2 veggie "sausages" 20g
S: Protein shake 30g
L: 1 chicken breast 40g
S: Fruit
Turkey BLT 9g
S: Protein shake 30g
I stay full all day!0 -
I bought today the EAS protein drinks, the chocolate flavor. Do you make smoothies with those also? I know I could drink them like that but maybe I wanted to get creative. What shakes do you buy? What other foods are high in protein other than meat? I know avocado and nuts have protein but they also contain a lot of fat, the good one but... Thanks!!! :flowerforyou:0
