    I would just eat stuff with more protein: fish, chicken, egg whites, milk, yogurt, nuts...

    3 ounces of chicken is 22 grams of protein.

    Agreed. Don't forget that lean red meat is a good source of protein as well.

    Even a simple peanut butter sandwich is an awesome source of protein... just don't get to crazy with the peanut butter ;)

    Greek yogurt is amazing and has a bit of protein in it.

    Not sure if it would help, but I buy Pure Protein powder from Target. It is $18 and lasts me about a month or two if I use it only after I lift.

    I used to use pure protein. It's a good supplement. Fairly cheap. Lasts a while depending on how much you need throughout the day. And it's great to use in breakfast/snack smoothies.

    Be careful there, actually peanut butter is not a great source of protein when you look at the protein per calorie content. Not a great source at all. Not a bad food but for someone on a cal deficit it's not the most efficient way to get it.
    Better off with fish, chicken, meat, egg whites, plain greek yogurt.

    Wow, thanks for all the replies! :smile: All of your ideas are great, only thing is I live in The Netherlands and they don't sell those products here :frown: So I was thinking more along the lines of any natural subs, like someone said eggs, banana, yogurt etc. How much is enough after a hard workout?

    I'd love to know of a egg shake/snack/protein packed bomb or whatnot that I could make for myself after lifting. :smile: I really want to bulk up, just not sure it will be possible without getting my post-workout protein. Now I just have a banana , just not sure that's enough?
