[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]120g is 1 whole chicken, fine to eat one after leg day but every day for 6 month? How did you stomach that much. [/quote]

120g of protein is 400g of chicken breast and that can easily be eaten in two meals. But obviously you don't have to eat just chicken. You can do yoghurt, eggs, cottage cheese, fish. Tons of protein dense option with low calorie content. And considering many other foods (bread, legumes, some veggies) contain protein too it all adds up. 120g is very easy to get and stomach. I get that without even trying. It is just a normal way of eating for me. And I still get plenty of carbs and fat too as 120g of protein is only 480 calories. [/quote]

I’m just curious how many calories you eat ever day.  I only eat about 1400 calories a day and there’s no way I could hit 120 g of protein unless it was all I ate.  Looking back over my food tracker for the past 4 months, the only says that I even hit over 80 are the days I eat fish, which I probably shouldn’t eat every day.    [/quote]

120g of protein is just 480 calories. Still plenty left for other things even if you just eat 1400, but you should try to eat more. 1400 is very low for an adult. [/quote]

Ma’am, with all due respect, you need to stop giving nutrition advice.  You are what the kids refer to as confidently incorrect.[/quote]
