Protein help

I ate 200g of protein yesterday. I try and get my protein from chicken, fish and such - which I make into my meals. I know they say you should have more veggies and less meat -- but I'm trying to get more protein right now and this is the best way to get it.

As for my calories, I was under my calories yesterday and was so full.

Just do the best you can.

What she said. I get a lot of my protein from protein shakes, tuna, cottage cheese, and meats of course.. I normally have at least one protein shake a day due to calorie cutting though. When I hit maintenance mode, I will cut back on the shakes when they're not for post workout recovery!

you can find low fat dairy products that are also high protein like milk, yogurt, cheese - there are some cottage cheeses that are amazing on fat/protein content. Try to integrate it into your foods. I put cottage cheese in my scramble eggs or fruit salads if i feel like something sweet.

A nice chili can also be high protein with different selection beans, some lean beef and cheese on top.. protein protein protein

if u need more tips just ask i'm sure everyone has a lot of tips! I've often done searches for high protein recipes myself.

This is where I'm at. I eat roughly 20oz of chicken or more a day (lunch and dinner). One protein shake usually (post workout). Additionally, I have found that if I SKIP breakfast (meaning my first meal isn't before 11 or so)...I'm less hungry during the day. Sooo...I make sure to eat a 3 egg omelette with 2oz of deli turkey (pepper turkey in an omelette is freaking amazing) along with onions, bell peppers, and mozarella cheese. This boosts my hunger for the whole day it seems lol.

Now, my diet isn't normal right now. I'm not getting enough fiber really (looking for a way to up that without upping carbs substantially), and I eat a lot of the same things every day for now. The reason for this is because I'm stacking primarily protien, with fats falling somewhere below, and carbs staying STRICTLY below 100g, and preferably around 50g. I'm doing this for TWO weeks (second week starts tomorrow), checking my weight...and then returning to a slightly more normal 100g-150g of carbs. This will open my veggie and fiber selection...as well as allow me to eat more fruits again. As things sit, between the demands of eating as much as 2600cal on some days, and as little as 1500cal on others...along with stacking protien, and limiting carbs...my intake is slightly whacked lol.

I wish I had this problem, really. I am eating about 250 grams a day of protein and I am still hungry, on workout days hungry as a horse as they say. But then again, I am also restricting calories, including carbs. I am almost all of the time not eating back my exercise calories but 1900 calories goes quickly... my belly just groooowwwwled now. 1 more hour before I get 400 calories.

Make it a worthy 400cal brother =D.

Cris, really nice plan. I did my two weeks like that, when you are done let's compare notes. I have mixed thoughts on my outcome. Great responsible, well thought out, and informed posts.

Thanks man!

After a week on the low carb thing (second week zig zagging), I'm not sure what to think lol. This has been my lightest week on average to date though. Normally I gain 3-4+ pounds through the week, then magically on Monday I'm lighter again lol...this week I only went up 1.5 total, and was my lightest on Wednesday.

We'll see how next week goes!

Body Fortress makes Protein Shots and that are 26 or 52 grams per. The taste is uh...less than good....But if you need to up your protein intake and can't physically eat all of it, they're an option. They're very low carb and pretty low cal too.

I buy mine a Wal-Mart, but I saw Kroger has them too.
