Re: Question: How do you get your protein?

[Guest guest]

I stopped keeping track. Here is why:

I start my day with 24gms of protein right off the bat with

my " coffee " aka carb countdown, instant coffee and davinchi sugar

free syrups. I would say most of the time I eat a small bag of jerky

which has another 24 grams of protein in it. Without even trying

from here Ive already gotten almost 50 gms in without even really

putting food in my mouth. I eat Carbwell bars for snacks, snack on

cheese, nuts (occasionally because they are so high in fat) I always

have some sort of meat source for dinner so breakfast and lunches

are my bonus meals. I can default and still get in my needed 60gms a

day. Today I did not do well with my meals because my stomach is

VERY unhappy. I made myself eat but I doubt I got in my full

protein. I HATE PROTEIN DRINKS YACK! Oh well once in 5 months is

pretty good!!

<sigh> question, questions and more questions......

How much protein do you consume every day?

Funny you should ask! Well since I was on a plateau I've been keeping

very careful track of everything that goes in my mouth in an Excel

spreadsheet. Over the last 6 days I've averaged 84 gms per day.

What do you consume to meet your protein needs?

one protein shake per day (15gms), 3 oz tuna(19gms), 3 oz chicken or

fish(28-32 gms), Quaker Q-Smart snacks(14gms), some days (like today) I

add a latte, protein bar or a second shake for about another 15 gms.

For me I still have two protein shakes. For that gives me 52 grams of

protein. That way I can get the rest of my protein usually 30 grams or so from

food.

It's still very hard for me to eat because I just dont get hungry.

I get in at least 80 grams per day. Between protein drinks, tuna or

chicken and protein bars, I know I get in enough!
