Right now my goal is 150grs of protein. It's hard.
Whey, chicken, tuna, eggs.1 -
sources of protein that are low/no fat - chicken breast, turkey, pork tenderloin, shimp, egg whites
sources of fat/protein - whole eggs2 -
Premier protein shake 30 protein
Triple Zero yogurt 15 protein

Fatty cuts of meat.1

Are you a vegetarian? If not, increase portions of meat, cut back on portions of carbs.
Also, eggs.
Cut something high in carbs and add something lower in carbs but not without them (like nuts, avocados, if vegetarian again, tofu or seitan isn't that high).
Basically look at your log, see what's high on protein and fat, increase it; cut back a bit on what's high in carbs but has little protein and/or fat.1 -

you can do protein shakes, but I tend to advise against people drinking their calories if they are trying to lose weight.

Why is that? Just the mental thing, how food feels you up more than shakes?

ellenmitchell I love the Premier Shakes. You're right, they are a great source of protein and the Oikos Triple Zero. Agreed! Those are 2 great sources of protein. Does anyone know how to determine how much protein you need in a day to help with weight loss?0

Cottage cheese or yogurt with peanut butter mixed in. The pb has a few carbs but more fat and protein.0

most recommendations are .8-1lb per goal weight - so if your goal weight is 150lbs, then 120-150g0 -
My go to fatty proteins are pork ribeye, pork shoulder, eggs, and when I can afford it salmon or beef ribeye steak - these hit my macros pretty close. I'll also snack on hard aged cheese, cottage cheese, pumpkin seeds and/or Brazil nuts for extra fat. I add butter to all my veggies and cook everything in cocunut oil. Olive oil is for my salads.

It is very hard to fix macros at the end of the day. So that you are not caught out again, try and include a little fatty protein at every meal. Eggs are a natural at breakfast for instance. Add a little cooked chicken breast to your salad.0

I add a tsp of coconut oil and a scoop of protein powder to my coffee. Helps get me to my macros and is sort of a post-workout snack for me. I workout in the morning and have issues eating too much right after. This after my shower is the perfect stop-gap.1

milk, cheese,yoghurt,eggs, red meat give you both fat and protein.
avocado, oils,butter,nuts give you fat.
Most of the time i go over in fats. It's really hard staying under actually.Protein is a bit trickier, but eating dairy helps a lot.0
