ETA: People need to stop saying that nuts/nut butters and beans are good sources of protein ... They are sources of protein, yes, but gram for gram, nuts are more of a fat source, and gram for gram, beans are more of a carbohydrate source ...
Yes, they are super fattening and plus I can't handle nut butter.0 -

Go to Costco and pick up some "Premier Nutrition" protein shakes. 30 grams of whey protein per shake, along with 3 grams of fiber and only 1 gram of sugar. You get 18 in a box for 24 bucks. Great way to get your protein!0

Not all nut butter is fattening and sometimes it just takes a little practice to handle the nut butter properly.0 -
I use whey protein powder. It really helps me get all of my protein in for the day while staying under my calorie goal.0

I grew up with people saying that protein powders are MSG, they will cause hormonal disbalance, facial hair,cancer etc...
I know, don't laugh at me, it's different mentality :bigsmile:
We're not laughing at you at all. But we ARE saying that that information is wrong. Just because a myth was perpetuated earlier in your life doesn't mean you have to honor that myth forever. Do your own research and make use of the tools that are available to you.0 -

I know you are trying to follow a program, but using percentages is not always appropriate. 188g/d is a lot assuming you are female (conclusion from name and 1500cal/d). For a trained person, protein targets between 1.25-2g/lean pound body mass are not unheard of. That suggestion drops to 0.6-1 g/lbm for an untrained person. It is okay to try the program with a little less if this is a struggle for you. Losing 50kg will take some time, so a few extra weeks experimenting is not the end of the world if it helps you figure out what works best for you.
As for the initial question, go for whatever natural meat source you like and can afford. Its not that difficult after a while, but it will take some effort on your part. I eat 190g or so daily. There will be an adjustment phase to the new plan at the start.0 -
