@kenanga Thanks, not-currently-all-that-bitter-Reindeer!

@kenanga It was the number my trainer came up with in the diet she put together. Which I promptly dismissed as unrealistic and have not been following lol. I posted after seeing others on this sub mention similar numbers for women of my weight and was pretty “wtf?” Cos I 1) am skeptical I need...

@lucy97 Oh I am a huge egg eater lol. I throw them on everything — that and cheese are why I can’t be vegan.

@leightonh Thanks!!

@leightonh I’m a woman, and was always told 1lb=.8-1g. I weight 155. But 1g/kg makes for a MUCH more manageable protein intake — based on that I’m right on track. :)

@dawn16 Lol it’s all good! I’m mostly curious if folks who hit those high-protein goals do it without supplementing or not. I’ve been considering adding protein powder to the mix, but since I feel good and I’m not at a plateau I keep going back and forth on if it’s worth it? I can easily get...

@dawn16 Read my post again.

@dawn16 My goal WAS 135. The 145 is based on the fact that my weight’s gone up since I started gaining muscle. (It was dropping while I gained muscle, but I had a month where I was still going to the gym but walking much less. The walking seems to be where I drop fat, since gym time just...

@dawn16 It’s what my trainer suggested. But honestly, it doesn’t feel right to me. I’m a 155lb 5’7” woman (goal weight is 145lbs, I’m in no hurry to reach it) and the amount of protein I’m eating now was more than enough when I was swimming 3 hours a day or hiking 15+ miles a day and climbing...

@cosimnot I’ve really been looking for a good tuna alternative for backpacking too, and I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me sooner!

@cosimnot Oooh! Sardines! I’ll add them to my Costco list! I like them AND they have the added benefit of being down the food chain, so way less mercury, PFOS, etc…

@mthandeki This was sort of what I suspected, so it’s good to hear! I’m not at a plateau, so maybe it’s a “good for now, get protein shakes when one starts” kinda thing. Also, seconding the Greek yogurt love. I wish I could do cottage cheese, but I can’t. Texture.

I’m supposed to be at 135g a day, and I can’t seem to swing more than 75-80, and that takes work. Is it possible without protein powder? Or is that the go-to? Part of the challenge might be that I’m a vegetarian-leaning pescatarian, so that might be part of the challenge, but I really can’t...
