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

[jszy04]

1.8g x 80kg = 144g protein

Even drinking my protein powder three times a day gives me only 60g. I am looking into body recomposition and that puts me around 2000 kcal per day. I love nuts but they are too calorie dense. How do you do it?

Edit: don't really like meat substitutes but if there's nothing else

Edit 2: apparently it's 1.8g per lean kg not total kg. That puts me closer to 100 grams.

You've given me good ideas and I think I should be okay. Thank you. Keep them coming if you have more. It's nice to have some variety.

@jszy04 Tofu and Seitan and TVP. All fairly cheap and fairly healthy compared to like impossible and such.

 

[dawn16]

Oh! And pumpkin seeds.

@dawn16 And Tempeh, depending on where you live and if you have access to Asian supermarkets, it's also relatively cheap.

@deborah Most grocery chains carry tempeh these days.

Seems like only a select few don't, including Walmart.

 

[deborah]

@user385 In Germany only "Bio"- and Asia-Markets carry tempeh. And in the Bio markets it's quite expensive (~4€/$ for 200g)

@dawn16 TVP BABY WOOHOO FUCK YEAH

 

[dawn16]

@hepzibah12 YOU DOWN WITH TVP? YEA YOU KNOW ME!!!

 

[hepzibah12]

@dawn16 TVP TACOS FOR THE EIGHTH TIME THIS WEEK AND ITS ONLY TUESDAY

 

[nursec]

@hepzibah12 where do you buy your TVP from?

 

[hepzibah12]

@nursec Either Walmart or the Asian/Mexican markets, it's usually around $5 a pound (which lasts me two days if I eat nothing but that)

@jszy04 Tofu is a wellspring of protein. I hit almost 200 grams a day eating protein powder with powdered peanut butter twice a day and tofu with my lunch

 

[legolas2106]

@dawn16 i just discovered powdered peanut butter and it’s sooo good and so much less calories and fat

 

[dawn16]

@legolas2106 It’s a game changer. They have really good flavored ones too with slightly worse macros

@dawn16 i made a smoothie today with:

8oz almond milk (1g P), 4oz water,
1 scoop banana soy protein isolate (True Nutrition brand) (28g P),
1 tbsp powdered pb (4g P),
half a frozen banana (1g P)

tasted like a mf milkshake it was so good. with 34g protein and 233 calories

@legolas2106 -Yoink-

 

[legolas2106]

@jarjj70

Yoink

if you make it, definitely include the water. the isolate powder makes it super thick without water
