How do you get 100+ grams of protein per day?

@legolas2106 I like the brand Birch Benders, wasn’t a fan of Kodiak

@caritasium How does the sodium intake look on that? The meat alternatives tend to be so high. And perhaps it doesn't matter much, just curious

@lovelylavern this. i started tracking my sodium because i was eating a lot of vegan frozen meals and i had a rude awakening

@lovelylavern Sodium intake matters for cardiovascular health, even on a plant based diet.

@caritasium That's a ton of highly processed and sodium heavy foods. If you only care about protein then sure but horrible health wise compared to a more whole food focus. Not to mention expensive.

@jszy04 For me- processed food. I had 45 grams of protein for breakfast between soy bean pasta and morning star chicken strips. Add in seitan, another serving of vegan meat, and maybe a shake, you're at 120-140 grams easy

@jszy04 I don't. I'm about 86kg so by your formula there I suppose I should be eating something like 155g a day. Between my lunch, protein shake and dinner I'll probably have around 90 total. Now granted, I'm not doing body recomp. I hover around 15%bf and I'm okay with that because I train for health and performance, but unless you're trying to build muscle optimally you don't have to focus on getting in that much protein. Even if you are looking to build muscle I wouldn't sweat it too much if you can't manage that large of an amount and it simply takes you a bit longer to pack it on.
