8 small meals/day, high protein, low carb & sugar?

Music to REALLY pump me up for tabata training?
For those who don't know, it's 8 20 second sessions where you push yourself as hard as you can, with 10 second breaks in between. I do it on a wind resistance stationary bike.

I don't own a kitchen scale :( but I have measuring cups! I googled this, but I keep getting different answers. Not marinated, skinless and boneless.. Just seasoned with a little salt, pepper, and garlic. I am making a lot so I can portion it out over the next few days. Each "portion" should have about 15g protein. Help!…
