Protein intake

fdotro Posts: 11 Joined: 2003/07/23	2003/07/24, 01:56 PM According to my nutrition program I am suppossed to consume 250g of protein a day. I have only been able to get about half of that without going way over my allowed fat and carb intake. I eat a protein bar after every workout and I eat 4-6 meals a day. Could someone post what they would usually eat in a given day??

I regular have 3 pieces of chicken a day (16g per 100g of chicken). I also eat 2 cans of tuna at least a day (that runs to to 30g X 2 =60g of protein. All of these aforementioned are great sources of protein without the fat. I also find that protein shakes contain less fat than protein bars in general (especially if u use skim milk).

Add to that your 25-40 gr. protein supplement once or twice per day, and you will easily get your alloted amount. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron
