I need* 100 grams of protein

[Dietadviceneededplease]

Hello all,

Well I don't actually 'need' but 'want' to really up my protein to give my mounjaro journey a boost after not loosing much for a while, I know the reasons lack of mobility and poor choices.

How would you maximise your protein?

I don't have access to any cooking equipment bar a microwave the majority of the day at work but I am happy to throw reasonable money at the goal.

Thanks

Adding to my post above, I’m not working for MyProtein. My son weight trains and gets through a lot of protein powder. We started buying online from MP because it works out cheaper for us. I was buying the Sainsburys own brand protein powder (£16) for a while & the vanilla and strawberry flavour ones are both decent. The MP is always on some kind of discount, so works out around half the price per kg compared to Sainsburys own brand if you buy when they have a deal on.

Banana protein (using protein powder) smoothies for breakfast helped me up my protein!

I got 84g today, best ever!! Fibre is tanked though ,,....this is worse than equations

Does he favour a particular flavour from MP?

We’ve tried quite a few: natural vanilla, natural chocolate, natural strawberry, cinnamon Danish, speculoos, vanilla-raspberry and chocolate-peanut. Avoid the chocolate-peanut - it tastes artificial. The natural vanilla and strawberry were both decent. We buy cinnamon Danish and vanilla-raspberry regularly. The cinnamon one is good in overnight oats with grated dessert apple.

Greek yoghurt with a scoop of chocolate whey protein topped with oats and berries.

Can of tuna mixed with half mushed avocado instead of mayo (yes calories, but good fats) I eat this on its own but could have with salad

As others have said batch cook on your off day things like teriyaki salmon, chicken mince meat balls, baked chicken thighs, chilli etc

For lunch and dinner aim for 1/2 the meal to be protein, then the remaining half to be 1/3 nutrient rich veg like green beans, asparagus broccoli cauliflower rice, spinach, beetroot etc and then the rest a small amount of carbs.

I am also partial to grabbing a pepperami, lots of protein but not healthy. I love them, and a little bit of what you love keeps you on track 🙂

I follow this PT/nutritionalist on instagram www.instagram.com/johastoncoaching?igsh=NGk1ZDQ4NnY0dmE4 she shates some great meal ideas, has a fun, practical, female friendly approach to weight loss and health.

I use this diet whey protein, less calories if you're still trying to stay in deficit amzn.eu/d/iDwVBTZ

One small way to up your protein intake is to use red lentil pasta, instead of ordinary. It’s made from red lentil flour. You can definitely get it from Tescos. I am not sure where else.Its also suitable for people, who need gluten free.

We’ve not tried it, but iirc you can get chickpea pasta too.

We eat gluten free with celiac in the family and eat quinoa, lentil or chickpea pasta. Pea protein pasta is also lovely with pesto, punchy flavours.

I'm currently 78 kg, down from 107 kg, and I still aim for 100g+ of protein per day. Usually 110-125 g. Here's how I do it:

• Breakfast - I'm not a breakfast person but love my coffee, so I make a protein iced latte (any choice of protein, milk, ice and espresso) - that's easily 25 - 30 g of protein.
• Lunch & Dinner - meat/fish/prawns/tofu prepared in some way + veggies - that's usually another 30 g of protein per meal, so 60 g for both.
• If you don't feel like meal-prepping, there's a lot of protein-rich ready meals / they call them gym meals sometimes.
• Snack / Dessert - if I feel like it, I would always reach for a protein pudding, protein yogurt or protein bar. Each of these usually packs 20-25 g of protein.

Appreciate you coming back to me on that, thank you so much.
