[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just increased protein intake. Every meal has become a challenge to get enough protein. Creatine is too gritty. I don’t like it.[/quote]

New poster. I am vegetarian 😬 How do I increase protein? I feel like I already eat too many eggs…[/quote]

What do you consider "too many eggs", that is a different answer for everyone.  I eat on average two per day, if I don't eat them for breakfast then I eat them for dinner. I have excellent cholesterol numbers. [/quote]

Here is a sample of what I do eat.

B: Egg whites or scrambled tofu for breakfast on a Mission tortilla wrap. I guess that's somewhere between 15-20 grams? 300 calories.
L: Salad with white/black beans (1 cup) so about 15? 300 calories.
Snack: Cottage cheese or greek yogurt--12-20 grams. 170 calories
Snack: almonds 6 grams. 150 calories
Vegan Protein shake before every workout (evolve): 20 grams. 160 calories
Snack: Smoothie made with almond milk, a cup greek yogurt, and variety of vegetables.  20 grams,200 calories.
Unlimited fruits and vegetables during the day, sometimes with hummus,

This is all rough. So almost 100. Not ideal, but we eat more protein than we actually need, and I find this sufficient to build muscle and keep me fueled during the day. SOmetimes I eat more or less.

Dinner
Main is made with black beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, barley. There are tons of recipes. THis is usually my hightest-20-30 grams.[/quote]
