It's 7pm here and I have had 65g protein today and have another 120 to go! Have had chicken for lunch and had an egg white omelette for dinner. What are some quick easy protein rich ideas for the evening? Don't have any more lean meat in the fridge (grocery day tomorrow) only have tinned chicken.

Don't mind not hitting carbs or fat but want to get at least another 50g in if I can.

    I sometimes go for Isopure Alpine punch juice if I need to. I don't know if you can get it, it's not a shake just a bottle of juice, it has 160 cals, no carbs or sugar and 40g of protein in it, and tastes quite nice!!

    My protein powder is about 21g per serve so that will help.

    Not sure how many cals you have left but maybe a protein shake made with milk and some peanut or almond butter added? Mmmm

    I love tinned chicken, and would slice some up with some salady bits

    So u want almost 200g of protein per day, just clarifying?? That's seems a bit high, your weight times .8 should be sufficient. No more than 30g per sitting the rest will go to waste since your body can only use that much at one time.

    Greek yogurt
    Carbsmart yogurt
    Egg whites
    Fish
    Chicken
    Pb2-less cals, fat, than regular peanut butter and perfect to add to you protein powder:)

    Usually I am set at about 120g (50% protein) but due to exercise it's bumped up to 190 today. I would like to get to about 110 or so if I can.

    Protein peanut butter cups is my end of the night signature treat. If you have some available fat and protein in your macros their the perfect treat for late night snacking. For about 3 cups you'll only need 25-30 grams of protein and roughly 12-16g of fat depending on how much peanut butter you wish to add to each cup. Mix the protein powder with a no calorie sugar substitute and a tablespoon of hershey's unsweetened chocolate powder add some water and there's your batter for the cups. A bottom layer the put them in the freezer add the peanut butter and put back in freezer then add a top layer of the batter freeze once more and enjoy. Haha just a thought I truly love them!!

    I'm not sure if there is anything natural about tofu?

    Just had a tin of chicken and some protein powder in yoghurt. I am done for the day! Didn't get there but any more and I will feel sick. Going to hunt down some liquid egg whites and get those in earlier in the day.
