So, after seeing I'm only eating 16 to 25 % of my total calories in protein, I was wondering how I can get more in!. How do you get more protein and make your goals?

0% fat greek yogurt mixed with protein powder. I call it my protein paste and have (literally) a quart a day of it. Zero fat, although I want to up my fat. Also, 2% cottage cheese. Try cutting all carbs except fruits and veggies (no potatoes) and see how you feel. Brutal at first but now it rocks my world.0

To make sure I get my protein I take protein shakes like Cytosport Evopro or Muscle Mlik. Evopro has 26G of protein per serving and muscle milk has 32g.0

I use protein shakes and good old fashion meat-lean cuts of course.0

Meat, fish, legumes, and protein shakes when those are not on the menu.0

I eat a lot of venison and tuna steak, eggs, turkey, chicken an at least one whey protein shake to get my 225 + grams of protein per day. Greek yogert just doesn't have enough grams of protein to spend that amount of my daily calories on.0

I add powdered peanut butter to my 2% Greek yogurt I also make a special protein shake in the morning. I also eat reduced fat string cheese, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs and protein bars.0

I eat a lower carb meals that are higher in protein- snack on nuts or cheese during the day- really helps with my protein intake.0
