    I love ground turkey. I cook it in lots of butter and add chipotle spice. It carmaelizes up nicely, without sugar. Yet tastes sweet and spicy!

    I struggled to up my protein intake. I was having protein with every meal except breakfast. I was having porridge each morning until I found cereals high in protein. (can't do fresh cooked breakfasts every morning)

    Weetbix and nutrigrain both had good levels of protein (don't know if it they exist outside of Australia). It just helped me over that edge :)

    Lentils, blue grenadier fish, Greek yogurt, eggs, chicken.

    Someone should make a protein sticky thread.

    Nutragrain always seems too high in energy. Like you can't each much, maybe I'm misremembering.

    My protein aim is 116g daily. I eat a lot of fish meat & like plenty of variety but venison, tuna, shrimp, chicken & pork are my top 5. Also plenty of eggs, egg whites, greek yogurt & milk. I love bagels & the ones I buy have 10g so that is a really easy 10 to get in :) I get around 30g a day from either a protein bar or shake on a fairly regular basis & the rest from "real food"

    This sounds so delicious! Browned ground turkey + some bright green edamame and a splash of sambal oelek chili sauce is one of my favourites!

    Eggs. Protein and fat are my hardest macros to hit and eggs fit both those just fine.
