    No really, it's true. Broccoli and spinach have about 40% of their calories from protein. But before you get enough protein to make a substantial dent in your requirements, you will have exploded.

    Yup, all I would need to hit my 180g's of protein is 90 cups of raw broccoli....

    I'm flat out amazed by what people are putting forth as potential protein sources.

    I think potential is the key, there. Meat would be the obvious, but there is protein value in the other options (it's just not as efficient).

    If you were to only green leafies, sure, but do you know anyone who does this?

    Breakfast, 1/2 cup steel cut oats, a few crushed walnuts, 1/4 cup almond milk, 2 apples, cinnamon. 16 grams protein

    Lunch, a head of romaine, with a 1/4 cup of white beans, a tomato and a cucumber 17 grams protein

    Afternoon snack: Green smoothie with 4 cups spinach, 3 banana, 1 mango. 8 grams protein

    Dinner, Vegetable soup with green beans, kale, asparagus, potato, beans, celery, carrot. A lot of grams. (Would take too long to look up all those ingredients.)

    31 grams before dinner.

    And then how do I get the other 149 grams of protein by the end of the day within my calorie goal?

    Quinoa and Farro are low gluten grains that are packed with around 8 grams protein per serving. I've had both and they are both pretty good. They can be cooked just like rice and are as versatile.

    Thanks, everybody. Now you've got me wanting to go face first into a big bucket of shrimp.

    Better make it two. I'll be right there with you.
