@ Do you manage a lot of Protein? I just can't imagine eating all protein, ugh, I know I have to but I love chicken - yes - however I can't sit and eat it all day. Lol. I love eggs, cheeses and mince too but I never eat so much that I am over 60g of protein.

I am very strategic about my Protein, i usually try to get my Protein as high as i can during each meal, so i don't have to eat large amounts to meet it, i try to be as creative as possible with my meals so i don't get bored.

So, i will make a lamb salads, or slow cook meat with beans/legumes, roasts with veggies, chicken salads, fish etc

I try to add non meat Proteins, nuts, cheeses as well to change it up and increase the protein amount

Eg, you could make a lentil and lamb salad, add greek yogurt to dip the lamb in, sprinkle some seeds/nuts, add some feta... awesome.. thats practically a quarter of your daily needs just there!

Eg. I make an open taco bowl... lamb or turkey mince, old el paso taco seasoning/sauce, red Beans, white Beans, onion, tomatoes, capsicum, fresh corriander.. cook it all up, then put it ontop of a "salad" of iceberg lettuce, Tomato, corriander, red onion, capsicum... its yum!

I find Mediterranean and middle eastern recipes do this very well
