[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, too think the high protein hype is a fad that will pass. Getting more than 80 grams of protein a day consistenly is not realistic.[/quote]

What? You don’t ever have to try that hard to hit 80grams.

Breakfast:
2 eggs - 14g
Slice of toast - 5g

Lunch: 
4oz chicken - 35g
Green veggies - 2g

Snack:
Greek yogurt - 12g

Dinner:
3oz meat or tofu - 15+g
Veggies - 2g

Total: 85+ grams

ummm I would be stuffed and grossed out by that much protein. I wouldn’t have the appetite to have greek yogurt after having 2 eggs and 4 oz of chicken in a day. if I ate all you are listing it would mean I ate less fruit, grains and veggies, and I just don’t see the evidence for pushing that much protein.

For many that is actually very little food. I would eat like that if I wanted to cut a lot of weight quickly. I probably eat close to double that in a day and  I am definitely not stuffed. It is just what I need to maintain my weight. [/quote]
