    Hi MFPeople.

    I don't know if my diary is open but I need advice on what else I can have today to up my protein. I am already over on sugar and don't really want to go over on fat or carbs. Haven't had dinner, protein shake or exercise today - this is planned for later and could be changed if anyone has any better ideas?

    Thanks aaaaa lot

      quorn fillet:
      55kcal
      6.8g protein
      2.6carb (0.1 sugar)
      0.8 fat (0.3 sat fat)
      2.6 fibre
      0.16 sodium

      quorn steak:
      123 kcal
      13.3 pro
      5.5 carb (2.7 sugar)
      3.9 fat (1.9 sat fat)
      6.7 fibre
      1.5 sodium


      Fillets win out for me.

      Egg whites are 100% protein, no carbs or fat.

      Make a chickpea patty. 103 calories, packed with protein

      Or make some homemade hummus. Have it with some celery sticks.

      Eat some almonds

      Meat? Or dry roasted edamame. 14 g protein, 0.5 fat, 130 cal and 2 net carbs (9 total - 7 fiber). I often use these to up my protein.

      Edit: per 1/4 cup (30 g) for edamame above.

      Thanks everyone. Will probably try edamame at some point, is there a lot of sodium in these?

      I like chickpeas would love to try chickpea patties.

      I don't eat meat or fish, though these are probably the easiest way to get protein.

      I'm not sure you can get egg white on their own in the UK, i.e in a carton?

      Meat?
      Yeah. (ETA: didn't see your no meat comment)

      Or change your macros to allow more fat and then have cheese, assuming you're not a vegan.

      What are your macros set to? Your fat allowance looks quite restricted :flowerforyou:

      Have the same problem, so I actually tried to figure out how I could get the MOST protein for the least amount of calories. It's not a comprehensive list, but might give you some ideas. There'd also be a bit of variation depending on brands. Number is how many calories for 1 gram of protein...

      4.5 tuna
      4.9 shrimp
      5 chicken
      6 turkey
      6.7 spinach
      6.8 lean beef
      6.9 non fat cottage cheese
      7.4 sardines in water
      7/5 asparagus
      8.3 Sargento light string cheese stick
      9.2 Fage Flavored Greek Yogurt
      9.3 Salmon
      10 cauliflower
      10.3 turnip greens
      12 Sargento reduced fat colby jack or cheddar cheese stick
      12.5 mustard greens
      14.5 plain greek yogurt (instead of sour cream or mayo?)
      14.8 egg
      14.9 broccoli
      15 collards/brussel sprouts
      15.45 kale
      19.3 beans
      20 cabbage/zuchini
      25 peanut butter
      37.5 skim milk
      38 whole grain brown rice

      Drink some Whey Protein - it's a decent quick way to get quality protein.

      It's very hard to get enough protein in your without supplementing somehow. Not saying it cannot be done, but it's hard.
