Hey girls!
What are your courrent strategies to reach your protein goal?
I wasn't doing beans and had to include them and duplicate my whey portion in order to reach it...
but i"d like to see what others are doing?

    I try to mix it up: protein powder, chicken, Greek yogurt, eggs and egg beaters are my staples.

    I used to have trouble but now I actually have to limit my protein.. I always go over :p
    I usually eat a whole egg with egg whites for breakfast, OR a kind of hash with diced chicken breast, turkey bacon, peas, mushrooms, and whatever other veggies i find.
    For lunch (my main meal of the day) I eat chicken or steak or salmon, sometimes turkey.
    For dinner usually leftovers from lunch.
    I snack on rice cakes with hummus and turkey breast (deli meat).
    I rarely eat beans (other than what's in my hummus) but of all beans/legumes I think lentils are the highest protein/gram.
