Favorite Protein Sources??

Chicken breast and turkey breast are good sources.

chicken breast, beef, and whey protein shakes

Eggs, protein powder for smoothies, protein bars, chicken, cottage cheese and greek yogurt.

I had a hard time without adding protein powder...which I hated....until I mixed it with coffee. I use the Kaizen brand Whey Isolate Protein powder...vanilla ice cream flavour.
Otherwise obviously all your meats are good sources. Nuts (though those are high fat...good fat though). Eggs.
Good luck!

Pick one or multiple, they are all delicious.

I never really liked or ate fish but I made myself try some panko-breaded tilapia and some beer-battered cod from Costco recently. I was really surprised...I liked both. Don't cross off fish til you've given it a try Tuna is a good source of protein too, and handy for lunch mixed with some mayo, celery bits and a splash of lemon.

To up my protein, I've been making fruit smoothies with Designer Whey Protein (18mg/scoop). Also have come to like Jarslberg lite swiss cheese (50 calories/slice with 7 grams protein--I eat two a day) and Dietz and Watson lite turkey slices (2 slices are 50 calories and have 10 grams of protein). Both the cheese and turkey are available at Costco. Just watch the sodium and fat content of any processed meats and cheese.

Protein bars are more calorie dense but you can get a quick 10 or more mg of protein from them. I keep them handy in my purse or car for after work outs or if I'm missing a meal.

Teehee

meat, cheese, eggs, fibrous vegetables (veggies like broccoli and spinach have a surprisingly good protein to carb ratio)

Dead animals. which, coincidentally, is the best source of protein.

Plain Fage greek yogurt, beef, chicken, and on occasion lean cuts of pork.

Steak, chicken, especially fried chicken, lamb, lobster (best thing ever), pork, period. No nasty powder crap for me.

Im having a hard time reaching my protein macros and Im going waaaay over my carb macros 40 protein 30 carbs 30 fat...Any suggestions on what I can add?? I do not like fish...How do you guys get your protein in??

I used to have the same problem until I started spreading them across the day. I aim for 80g protein, depending on the number of cals I'm eating, so I make sure that I get about 25g for lunch and dinner, with 15g in the afternoon. I generally get the rest through dairy, lean luncheon meats and the occasional snickers.

Here's a typical morning/afternoon shift:

- Lunch: chicken or tuna sandwich (or another sandwich, depending on dinner)
- Afternoon snack: 125g fat free fromage frais with fruit and almond/hazelut butter or 100g full fat cottage cheese with something.
- Evening: a warm meal with whatever fits my macros.
- Drinks: 20cl whole milk, split as one café au lait and one capuccino, most of the time.

Sometimes, I have a salad in the afternoon (built around proteins like tuna, cooked ham and/or cottage cheese) instead of the yoghurt if I had something sweet for lunch. I also throw in a piece of fruit in there and other snacks if I still have cals for them. Sometimes, my proteins are lower or higher, but it all evens out in the end.

I like this template because it makes planning and logging easier. When I'm off, I eat whatever as long as it fits. :happy:
