Hi everyone
I need some protein ideas please.
I eat as much lean(ish) meat as I can without pushing up my fat intake and I already go through 1kg of protein powder in 2 weeks so thats not an option either.
Ok my diary is a mess now because I've been writing eams but usually I try to reaqch my macros. Fat does seem to be a problem though.
Any ideas?1 -

Have you tried any meat-alternatives such as quorn?

I took a look at a couple of days - didn't really see pork, turkey, shrimp (or any other kind of seafood/fish)
shrimp is 23g protein/1g fat in 4oz
pork tenderloin is about 22g p/3g f in 4 oz
turkey breast is about 18g p/2g fat in 4 oz1 -

This thread is excellent - links to a big spreadsheet that lists foods by protein efficiency (basically fewest calories for most grams of protein). That's going to inherently prioritize the lower-fat ones, 'cause calories.
Carbs and Fats are cheap. Here's a Guide to getting your PROTEIN's worth. Fiber also...3 -

Just gotten my second DEXA scan done today. I had my first one three months ago, before I started my fitness projects. The results are pretty amazing. In those three months, I dropped bodyfat from 28% to 18%, I lost 22 lbs of fat and gained 15 lbs of muscle. All I can say is: the system works!16

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, 62 pages... How is this vs bulk cut? Right now my goal is to get back to a weight I was before some injuries and life contributed to a 20lbs gain, once I am back, I do want to either try recomp or bulk and cut as I hear the latter is faster but cutting is pretty sucky?0

Bulk and cuts are cycles of prolonged periods in a surplus and deficit respectively. Recomps are eating around maintenance (which you will have days of surpluses and deficits) and training hard. Through those periods, your body will build muscle and cut fat.4 -

I read up on the concepts but from experience is one faster than the other? Better? Safer in terms of not getting fat, I ready bulk and cut you put on a lot fat potentially. I read recomp is slow, but want to hear some real world numbers not blog / online posts as every article contradicts the one I just read.0 -

Bulk/cut is faster but it has more psychological battles, too; there is also potential you screw up the bulk or the cut portion. Recomp is longer, but helps people stay lean the whole time.
The last two women (so you will respond better) that I worked with on their recomps.. one went from 26% to 14% body fat (hydrostatic confirmed in 2 years); the second went from 22% to 16% in 6 months (confirmed by DEXA).7 -
Thank you for the data, that is a bit of time, but as you say it keeps you where you want to be, I have a couple more months before making a decision.0

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to all of this and I'm wondering what peoples' recommendations be for a BF% to start a recomp (for a woman)? I'm about 22-23% bf according to my not-so-scientific scale.1
