[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perimenopausal woman trying to greatly up my protein intake. I eat a mostly plant-based diet and getting enough protein to support my heavy weight lifting and fitness goals has been a struggle; there are only so many beans I can eat, haha. I do eat some occasional fish and "regular" dairy sometimes, which matters because right now Greek yogurt is a big protein source for me, but I want to expand from that. There are a number of plant-based protein shakes that are good and also help, but I need ideas for food as I can't just drink protein shakes all day. Any ideas? [/quote]

[u]No one in America "needs" more protein.[/u][b] But if you really want to get protein--go to McDonalds, KFC, Panda Express, Wendys, Chipotle, like every other American. [/quote]

Go do a couple of months of 60-80 mile running weeks without sufficient protein and let us know how that goes for you. Plenty of people in America do in fact "need" more protein. And, it is also a great way to intake food that has a higher thermic effect. It is also patently false that you will have problems with your kidneys, unless you already have some ultra narrow health issue.  [/quote]

Who mentioned kidneys?

Who is running 60 to 80 miles a week? These people, is this who the OP's question is for? Less than 1% of the American population? Not the majority who eat school lunches, who east fast food at or on the way to work, those who eat sandwiches, pizza, etc with their kids at home? Those who, like most Americans, eat plenty of meat and cheese per day?[/quote]
