Im usually getting about 30-40g's for lunch. And another 30-40g's for dinner, + 30g's from a protein powder everyday. I take it like you said, just mix it with water and chug. I prefer that.
My wife OTOH makes a whole ****ing meal shake out of hers. Blending it with fruits and peanut butter and almond milk etc. I just stir my shit up with water, idgaf 
Just getting sick and tired of chicken. I try to mix steak in there more often lately but still....
My failure seems to be at breakfast. I have a real hard time staying disciplined when it comes to breakfast so im losing there and that's what's causing me to not reach my daily protein goal. I just have ZERO appetite in the mornings and usually dont even start my first meal till lunch time. |
My diet sucked until I was in my early 30s, then I would do keto off and on and sometimes track calories if I wanted to be in a deficit... I've probably raised my nutrition game to a B+ in recent years though.
In these days of annual check-ups, I mostly let my labs dictate any diet restrictions. I'm definitely not lacking protein any given day, but I'm sure could have benefited more by now from working out had I tracked calories and macros and eaten more overall.
On that note, I was just watching a video the other day where 6'7" 350lb bodybuilder dude was asked how many calories he eats in a day...... 7000.
A day.
