    Thanks for this thread. Have it bookmarked also. Sounds like a lot of us have trouble getting in adequate protein and this sure helps! Note the term "Adequate Protein". Those who posted their angry responses to this thread didn't seem to get it... I don't think anyone here is looking to overload on protein!

    I have some trouble getting the carbs up as well, believe it or not! Looking for low glycemic index carbs... But that's another topic and I can google that... Thanks everyone for your good input here!

    ooo I love this list. Here's what I found from google:

    Tuna (4.46 calories per gram of protein)
    Tilapia (4.96 calories per gram of protein)


    When I get home I'm going to cram a bunch of prawns in my mouth to get my protein macro for the day. Hot.

    Google is good but I have found they average a lot of things. It told me salmon was under 5 but when I actually checked the salmon I had bought the pack says 9.73 cals per 1 g instead of googles generalising.

    it depends on the kind of salmon you buy.. For example, the wild caught salmon from Schwans that i use is 5.77c per 1g of p.
    (150c/26p per 5oz/142g servings)

    their mahi mahi (which is really delicious) is 4.81c per 1g of p

    Ooh what a great thread! I really struggle to hit my protein goal - I don't eat eggs and only eat meat once or twice a week. There are some great ideas here - guess I'm gonna have to learn to eat fish! :D
