    My daily goal is 150g, but I try to get at least 100g a day. Eggs, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, nuts, beans, chicken chicken chicken, lean beef & pork, fish.....if I make a smoothie I usually add a scoop of protein powder, but it's not a daily thing.

    Meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and I use unflavored protein powder and add it into various things. Lately I've been mixing it with chocolate milk as a post workout out protein shake. You can't tell it's even in a cup of chocolate milk. I use the Isopure Unflavored Whey and I like it. Don't smell it, but mix it with something with a heavy flavor and you'll never know it's in there. I have also mixed it with orange juice before and some of my fruit smoothies I've created and make my own protein granola bars :)

    According to my diary today I have taken in 154 grams of protein- usually my intake is 100 grams, but some times I under or over do it. As long as you are eating a deficit, a high protein intake won't make you "bulk".

    I tried using plain greek yogurt for protein, but I decided I just really don't like it, so why force myself to eat it?

    All of the meat :D

    I actually have a shake at night - I don't find it unsustainable, with how many portions are in the tub it last for ages.
