Nothing, I just always made muscles easily. I do pull ups now, not full unassisted, with aid, within a couple of days, abs back in place.

Would you mind spelling out your meals? I find it really hard to hit 100 even with a protein shake.


Protein sources:

Pre-workout smoothie with Fairlife milk and almond butter

Post workout smoothie - includes 1 scoop protein powder

breakfast - 2 eggs plus 1/2 cup liquid egg whites (from carton) with Ezekial bread

lunch - quinoa with tuna/salmon or chicken

dinner - pick a protein


Damn. You need leafy greens. Signed, an oncologist


Damn. I hope you read more closely in your job than in your DCUM posts.

Those were just my protein sources - I add in plenty of vegetables

I love the brand Ratio and specifically the Ratio Protein yogurt. It has 25 grams of protein.

Two things from previous comments:

1. Collagen may not be a complete protein but it is a protein and she isn’t consuming only collagen as her protein all meals.

2. Vegetarians have to eat a lot food to hit 100 grams a day. My hat off to you because I couldn’t do it.

You can get creatine pills if you don't like the flavor.
