Increasing my protein intake

[Questions1234]

Wondering if anyone had any tips on getting more protein into my diet while remaining calorie deficit?

Unless I’m missing something, I think the only way to meet my daily target (about 100g) would be to eat lean meat and vegetables every meal (which will get a bit dull and so not sustainable long term) or drink protein shakes (which I tried yesterday and made me want to 🤢) .

I try to get protein into every meal/snack, but still not getting there most days. Typical non meat meals feature eggs, lentils, cottage cheese, and snacks are very nut heavy.

Any tips??

Just wanted to comment and say: Yummmm!!!!
The sea bass dish sounds especially good.

Hmm.

I increase my protein by sneaking quark or fat free Greek yogurt into sauces, scrambled eggs, "creamed" spinach or defrosted berries and kefir.
Also by wrapping a fillet of fish in tinfoil and air frying it for 10 minutes. (sprinkled with chopped almonds, herbs and slices of lemon if I'm feeling enthusiastic)
Sometimes when I just can't be bothered coming up with anything else and don't have many calories left I plonk a tin of tuna (the brine or spring water kind) onto a plate, sprinkle with organic live cider vinegar some green nori sprinkles and either kimchi or sauerkraut to make a very half arsed salad.

I still have to eat the nicest food I can for the limited calories!

I have started experimenting with making protein smoothies with a little frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, chia seeds and cashew nuts… absolutely yum.

The protein powder specially designed for women with the vanilla flavour is delicious.

Im having a couple of these a week as they are so nice!

I mix cottage cheese into eggs to scramble
Greek yoghurt
Smoothie with frozen berries, vanilla protein powder and milk/kefir/yoghurt, sometimes add some flaxseed
Snack on light babybel, ham, tuna etc

I am getting around 69g a day which according to my fitness pal is my target.

i have tried a few things - protein yoghurt for breakfast is a good start. I usually have chicken for dinner and vegetable soup for lunch.

I would struggle to get 100g - are you sure you need that much?

Nuts are a whole food…personally I’d stick with those! There’s fat in Huel too, and Stevia can be associated with stomach issues..

I eat 40-50 grams of protein every day, it's the majority of my 800 calories

I like these shakes, have some flaxseeds in them also for fibre. I think the other one mentioned for women might be called Pure Soul?

The fast 800 shakes are also nice.
