Hey eveyone quick question im currently bulking but some days i just cant get enough protein throughout the day...
Is it bad if you fail to reach your protein needs once in a while and what would you suggest me to do in order to maximize my gains when i cannot get enough protein ?

Just eat plenty of lean meats, it shouldn't be hard to hit your protein goal if you do this. If you don't get the sufficient protein you won't recover properly.0

i see ... allright thanks0

For a quick hit of protein have a scoop or two of whey mixed into a total 0% 170g greek yoghurt. Around 40g of protein in one go0

what is your protein goal and what do you usually eat?0 -
Im trying to get 160g of protein daily....
umm i usually eat meat a lot of milk eggs and cheese
but well some days i also eat beans chick peas and lentils.. so those days i just cant get enough protein because im out of meat and stuff0 -
thanks for your reply but i prefer not to use whey powder and stuff i find them a bit unhealthy
but as a last resort i might think of buying some of it so i can get enough protein every day0 -
Fish has plenty of protein.
If you really struggle, get some protein powder.0 -

Why d'you think so?0 -
I had very same problem. I just keep small cans of tuna (in water)around. They are packed with protein. I like them best when I get back home from the gym!0

sounds like you just need to plan a bit better so you're not out of protein!
also, if you log your food in the morning, you can tweak your meals so that you are hitting your goal. i use powder sometimes, but generally if i set my meals round the protein first i can get enough in without too much trouble. skimmed milk is great for protein without too many cals. or normal milk if you have the cals!0 -
Thank you ..! Yea im gonna do that0

Well a friend of mine used supplements and stuff and he ended up fat.. he was also bulking !0

Considering I can see your diary, I'm very interested in this question.0 -

he ended up fat because he ate too much... not because of supplements or protein powder!0 -

Not sure what your friend was taking/eating, but protein powder is just that--protein. I'm working on a bulk as well and my saily protein goal is 150g/day. I took a break from logging for a few days, but you can check out my diary from Monday, yesterday, and (most of) today. I tend to prelog most of my food--some things I make up as I go along.0 -
Consider investing in a whey protein powder possibly.. I understand it can be hard to meet your protein needs, but it is quite important you do0
-
Okay...
how much do they cost ? are they expensive? because im on a tight budget

oh yea i did check it out0

I prefer the Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration from TrueNutrition.com (specifically in the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor). It's delicious and around 11 bucks a pound. Even mixed with just water and chilled with ice, it's delicious.
Note: I don't have any connection with TrueNutrition. I just like their stuff.0
