enough protein

[abs6angels 36]

How does everyone get enough Protein during the day? I find it hard to eat enough protein while getting in some carbs (otherwise I have no energy) I don't eat meat but do eat seafood

I aim for 20g of Protein per meal minimum. My nutritionist told me I should be getting at least 60g of protein per day so that's how I do it.

Maybe focus on the Protein at meals and carbs for snack.< /p>

If I can manage to get an entire Isopure down...that is 40g right there...REALLY helps with the overall Protein intake. I don't bother with anything "special" that is less than 10g. I don't want to waste my time and pouch space.

Isopure, Zone Bars, and Beans (I love refried beans!) gets me to my protien goals...but it is a struggle and commitment.

You should not have problems with Protein if you are eating the right portions. Carbs are for gravy, you should get energy from protein.

Shrimp is loaded with Protein and really good. I had some for lunch today and I believe it's around 21 g for 3 oz. I supplement with a Protein Shake or Protein Bar (Quest bar) if my numbers are running low. And I love cheese. Cottage cheese and peaches is good, that's about 14 or 15 grams, Danon Light and Fit Greek is good, love the Cherry flavor and the carb count is much better than most other Greek yogurts.

I do light n fit greek yogurt with a pure Protein bar, lunch 2.5ozof Turkey breast on whole wheat, dinner 3.5-4oz of chicken breast or Turkey burger from ground Turkey 99% ff

Be care full. the body only absorbs so much as a time. It won't absorb all 40g

Thanks everyone, I think I'll break it up during the day and snack on half off Protein Bars.< /p>

How much will it absorb in one sitting?

Check out my post entitled Delicious smoothie (I think it's one or two posts after this one). Also try steamed edamame with sea salt. If you've never had it, just ask here. We will tell you how to prepare and eat. It's easy, yummy and kind of fun! Also of course add nuts and the occasional Peanut Butter or almond butter. I know these are all basic answers and don't entirely answer your question but still I HTH.

I've had the same problem getting in my Protein in a day since I'm not eating that much. I found Protein Shots at Walmart. There is 2 different ones at my Walmart. One shot has 25g and the other brand has 42g of protein! 0g fat 0g sugar and 180 calories. I like those. Not much to drink and they taste pretty good!

I start the day...everyday for about 18 months now...with about 40gm of Protein in a "Custom Smoothie" I make in the blender....

[tym4me 206]

@B52. What is the recipe for the Custom smoothie?

Thanks for the help
