How do you get enough protein?

[Anonymous]

The shakes and bars are filled with garbage. Eat Whole Foods and yeah, OP, you’re going to have to get comfortable w lean meat if you want high protein.

Shrimp is the golden child of protein. You can put it in anything since it has such a mild flavor.

Chicken gets boring real quick unless you have cool ways to cook it.

The Fairlife and Premier protein drinks are processed crab filled with artificial sugars. No one should be drinking these and certainly not daily.

Eat real food you enjoy. I promise you get enough protein

Eating a lot of shrimp is a great way to get very acquainted with shitting nonstop though.

I will never understand why women of a certain age all decide they need to adopt the dietary habits of seed-eating birds, or small mammals. And then they’re surprised their body gets flabbier and weaker. Getting enough protein is easy-eggs, yogurt, chicken, fish, shellfish, pork, beef, etc. It really isn’t hard, but some of you make it that way.

Yeah and chicken is no more than $5/lb. Those dinosaur meat sure is economical.

My day will always have 2-3 eggs, a Greek yogurt, and 8-12oz of chicken.

It is hard if smaller women are listening to the “advice” that they need 100+ grams per day. But they don’t. 1gm/kg is plenty, more than enough. That number is pretty easy to get, even if eating plant based

High protein is really valuable if you actually exercise. It feeds your muscle growth and skeletal system as well as heart to pump to keep the machine running.

Calorie deficit works to lose weight; carbs or protein is irrelevant- just a matter of will power to not eat.

Eat enough calories. That’s it. No one in America who has a calorically adequate diet is actually protein-deficient.

Agree. All the middle aged 125 lb women on here saying they “need” 100+ grams of protein are misguided. If you are eating a balanced diet that includes dairy/meat, get enough calories, and aren’t training to be a body builder, you are getting enough protein

Dried cod is the most efficient source — almost pure protein.

Actually we aren’t getting enough to stave off sarcopenia and muscle loss and bone density loss in old age. That’s what the purpose is. We see our parents becoming wheelchair bound due to hip fractures and falls and I do not want that for myself. Many doctors who specialize in this area of study agree that women’s hormones in middle age are working against them, why wouldn’t we do what we can to keep our bodies mobile?

Haha I loaded up on those when I had a layover in Japan and my cat never let me eat this alone.
