I eat around 150g a day of protein and I also struggle to hit my calories, which right now is 1, 430 exact but it’s amazing because I’m not hungry at all. I wake up feeling amazing I’m drinking 2 liters of water a day and man I don’t know why I never tracked and made protein the star. I’ve always loved meat and cottage cheese and high protein foods so it has been easy but counting calories was the issue. I was over eating and getting heavy during covid just because I ate so much calories worth of carbs. Started @223 now I’m at 205 In 2 months so I’m definitely happy and full lol.

Thanks for these tips! I’m trying to get more protein in daily. It’s not always easy though.

This was an extremely important video for me. I want more protein just don't always know how to get it. Just bought both the Kelly Leveque books and am reading Body Love. Looking forward to the Fab 4 smoothies.

Some of my favorite lunches end up being snack plates/protein samplers. Sure, I'll throw in a couple different veggies, but I might have a little cheese, some tuna, maybe a couple slices of flavorful lunch meat (like buffalo chicken), and maybe even yogurt or a protein bar (even if it's just a mini RxBar. Sometimes, each thing only has 5 or 6 grams, but it adds up quickly when I have several things on the plate.

I definitely need to start incorporating cottage cheese into my meals more. Not sure why I don't. Maybe I'll go shopping for the ingredients to make, beet, arugula, asparagus, and goat cheese egg bake for lunches. Between the eggs (maybe a mix of eggs and egg whites?), cottage cheese, and goat cheese, it's not only a great protein option, BUT it's also perfect for meal prep. [And I may be able to find more pre-cut, frozen beets at Aldi, which will make my life SO much easier, haha).

I love some protein desserts. I tend to alternate between just regular cookies and sweets and things like RxBars, Eat Me Guilt Free Brownies, HEAT Bars, and Clio Bars. I usually pick dessert based on what sounds most appealing at the moment. Still, I'll usually gravitate towards something with more protein if I know my dinner was lower or I'm feeling a little hungrier. [I need more Galaxy Brownies in my life!]

I don’t eat enough protein cuz I get full so easily and end up being off by 50g like 2 days a week recently…it’s hurting my gains…

[DC-efop]

Is that much protein bad for the kidneys

[jmansasmr]

The ad was perfectly timed for me; I use snacking to sneak in 30 extra grams of - COVID 19😭 I can't with these ads lol

[blessedbythebest]

YES
IM mind blown of how hard it is too eat because it’s a lot to make you full.
What happens if you don’t eat all the protein in a day?

[blessedbythebest]

This is a great video. Thank you!!
All I was thinking was powder. Powder powder. But you named good stuff especially doubling. ☺️

[missluna]

Thanks for the advice! I hope this will help me build more muscle mass to make my muscles look more visible. I'm trying to look toned. 😎

[sammy]

Thank you for the tips! Great start to my weight loss journey👍

[jeniferrivera]

Great information! Thanks for the reminders!

I plan on buying some unflavored protein powder. That way I can add it to different drinks and meals..

[bizzyfit]

I'm trying for 100. It's hard. I don't eat eggs. I've been restricting dairy too, but I'm willing to eat Greek yogurt to up my protein.

[shelly]

Peanut butter is not a good source of protein. It's also inflammatory. I'd prefer to be dairy free on a high protien diet. I don't do well with cow dairy. I also don't eat highly processed foods and I'm not a snacker.

[lwiener]

I heard protein powder doesn't actually equal protein in your body. You have to use real food.

Oh I love the cottage cheese with salad idea
