Protein question

lidohouse Posts: 12 Joined: 2003/12/13	2003/12/16, 10:59 PM I have a question about protein. I see here on the forum that 1gram per pound of weight is good I Weigh 300lbs How do I get 300 grams in a day without drinking several shakes I'm using Met-RX Protein Plus it has 46 grams of protein per serving.Is there something out there that offers more protein. I know I get it from my diet also I just don't want to be eating all day or drinking 6 to 8 drinks a day. Or is protein even that Important??? Or Can something else be added to boost it?

I hope some of this helps. -------------- If hard work and persistence were the keys to success, most people would opt to pick the lock.~Dick
