How to eat high protein

8 replies

Angbunnyboo · 23/02/2021 16:11

I'm struggling to eat high protein and I need help please!

I can't eat eggs so those are completely out, but I can't seem to eat enough meat to hit my protein targets. I had chicken, smoked salmon and beans for lunch, and a protein shake for breakfast, and I've only had 76g of protein and I need to hit 127g each day.

I need to eat 1700 calories each day too, so any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.

TIA

Where are you getting the 127g goal from?

I'm on Team RH and 127g is my protein goal. I can hit my fibre goal but protein is eluding me!

I have the same problem, OP. Never reach my protein goal!

Pandoraslastchance · 23/02/2021 17:55

I'd say another protein shake.

127g of protein a day seems very high, so that's probably why you're struggling.

I don't know your reasons for doing it, but if it's just for weight loss and you're struggling with this, then maybe consider more of a balance of nutrients. It's not sustainable to eat a diet you don't enjoy and just eating foods for the sake of getting extra protein probably isn't going to be fun for long.
