[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5'4 and 120 pounds, in my maintenance mode now for the next 6 months at 1850 calories per day.  Within those calories, I do try to stay below 50g of fat and [b]hit at least 130g of protein each day[/b].  I weight train 4 days/week and run 2/week and live in the city so am walking when runnign errands.[/quote]

HOW? HOW do you eat so much protein? According to my app, I should eat 60g of protein a day, and most days I don't even hit that. Do you eat beans with every meal? [/quote]

how do you only hit 60? Are you a vegan?

and FYI while beans provide some protein they are not a high source of proteins compared to calories . Take black beans 114 cal serving only provided 7 g or protein. Lentils give 10 g in a 160 cal. much better bang for your buck with chicken breast 31 g in 160 calories.

NP.  I’m not particularly concerned with macros, but I probably eat about 60 grams and no way could I ingest 130 grams.  I don’t eat and wouldn’t want to eat meat and/or cheese with every meal.  Nor do I like protein fortified items (whey protein, pea protein blend etc).

Cheese isn’t even that high in protein.

I absolutely do eat egg, seafood, or meat with every meal.  [/quote]
