Introduction and protein question

mthornton42 Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/03/02	2005/04/07, 04:13 PM Hello all. I've used F/T before but was never concerned enough with putting on weight to post. My problem is I can't seem to get enough protein. I'm 6'2" and weigh 190. How the hell can I get 190g of protein a day? Right now this is what I wat Breakfast - All Bran and coffee Right before work - Whey shake (34g protein) First break - Turkey Sandwich (16 g) Lunch - Salad w/tuna (65g protein) Second Break - Cottage cheese w/fruit (28g) Dinner - varies usally ~25-30g protein What can I do to get more protein? I've read 1g per lb is bare minimum and I'm not quite there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

THATS ME
