Protein help

Meat (chicken, beef, pork), fish (salmon, tuna), greek yogurt, feta cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, egg whites, oats, hemp seeds - that's just of the top of my head

You've got this! When I was diagnosed as protein depleted, I had to increase my protein intake 4X what I was used to. It really is a change in perspective. I had to adjust to the idea that I would have a larger amount of protein/meat on my plate compared to a smaller amount of grain/carbohydrate. For you to get 60g a day, divide 60 by 4 (3 meals and a snack) = 15. Now, learn what 15g looks like. For example, I know that 3 slices of my deli ham = 15g (each deli ham is different so check yours.) Once you find several proteins that you like, plan your meal/snack around them. And as for protein shakes and bars, I use them because I need to intake 119g of protein until my stores are back up. While bars get a bad rap, they are good for emergencies. Plus, I make my own to avoid the downsides of the manufactured bars. Good luck and feel free to check out my public diary and/or follow me.

Peanut butter is my calorie king food to eat

I had the same situation. I never ate enough to get my body out of starvation mode. So, therefore I was storing every bit of food I ate. The doc advised me to have meat with each snack or meal and start slow raising my calorie intake. I have 4oz of grilled chicken with almost every meal. It took me over a week to get my body used to eating. I would literally get sick trying to force myself to eat breakfast. I found that having a protein shake for breakfast is very beneficial. It has become much easier for me to get those calories in. I have also started adding Chia Seed to my smoothies to add omega3 and protein. Make sure whatever you are eating is high in protein, read those labels! Make sure you know exactly what goes in your smoothie as well, every bit counts. Good Luck and feel free to add me!

My regular protein sources are:
-Greek yogurt (plain 0%). I usually eat it with some walnuts, frozen berries, and some fiber one bran cereal
-boneless, skinless chicken breast (5 oz). I usually eat this with 1 cup steamed veggies and half cup of steamed brown rice, beans, or quinoa. Or in a salad.
-ground turkey 93% lean. (5 oz)Eaten the same as the chicken above (not in a salad for me though)
-tilapia filets (5 oz). Eaten the same as chicken and turkey.
-eggs and egg whites
-sandwich meats in sandwiches obviously . But not too often though, a lot of sodium

I think prepping your meals would really help you in reaching your protein goals. I bake 20-30 oz of chicken, 20-30 oz of tilapia or ground turkey (which I season with flavor god prior to baking), bulk steam some veggies and cook some rice or beans in less than two hours and they last me for 4-6 days. I divide them up into individual food storage containers. Now I have two meals already planned out and ready for the next 4 days. The rest of the meals are either sandwiches or yogurt or eggs which are fast and easy to prepare. Then I add some ice cream or crackers to fit my macros. My protein goal is 127 btw. You can do it!

P.s. I weigh my poultry before and after baking. Then I use some algebra to figure out what 5 oz of raw chicken weighs when cooked.

I am trying 10% protein, 10 % and 80% carbs for 22 days, Book 22 revelution by Marco Borges has anyone been on that Plan. I am lovingg it so far.
