[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Thanks all for the feedback!  Particular thanks to the poster who recommended protein powder in greek yogurt.  I did that this morning with some blueberries and was able to get in nearly 40 grams before 8:00 am!  I used unfavored [b]Vital Proteins Collagen Peptide[/b], recommended by my trainer.)  I had a salad with a bunch of deli turkey for lunch, and dinner will be some kind of baked chicken breast.  I'm not sure I'll get close to 180g or even 125g, but progress!

I am tracking macros a bit through FitBit.  I'm generally consuming around 1400-1600 calories per day.  I am not capping my calories, but rather tracking them so I can build awareness.  My approach, as mentioned is to think of this as "getting healthy" rather than "losing weight."  So I'm tracking progress based not so much on the scale, but on my endurance and my strength increasing.  So far I feel, if not quite see, difference in my body composition.  Muscles seem firmer and I sense just a bit less weight from "excess flab."[/quote]

Collagen Peptide does not contain leucine which is critical for muscle protein synthesis. It is fine to have it with greek yoghurt, which contains a good amount of leucine, but I would not use it alone as the main source of protein after a workout.[/quote]
