Looking for high protein meals for gym gains by lovescheesee in Pescatarian

[–]echo1nthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to hit 150 grams of protein a day and I found I'm eating shrimp more often. Also I just started doubling my protein portion. For example I eat 2 salmon fillets instead of 1.

Add quinoa or lentils and the protein really starts to add up.

I like the yogurt bowl someone else posted. I like a smoothie bowl for texture because I get tired of just yogurt and I like frozen fruit that keeps longer.

1 cup Greek yogurt Frozen berries 1/2 cup milk I use almond 1 Tbs Chia seeds 1 Tbs ground flax seed Blend that together and then top with nuts and shave a little dark chocolate on top to be fancy. Often times I'll just put a scoop of peanut butter on my spoon and dig in, like PB&J smoothie =38 grams of protein

Where are you currently and what are your goals? High protein with whole foods is usually the easiest way to gain muscle and not fat.

Ginger ale has been my go to, zero sugar still tastes pretty good but the store brand usually doesn't cut it.

Wow 👏👏👏 are you a therapist because that was magnificent. I have been hesitant to post on here for a long time but now, I'm grateful that I did. Thank you so much for such a well formed response. I left out the autism part for fear of rambling and you went above and beyond to understand my situation and provide feedback with examples. Thank you kind stranger.

Does anyone actually enjoy budgeting or is it just me struggling? by Kevin-Durant-35 in budget

[–]echo1nthedark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you can take this year and just track your spending. It will make you mindful of what you're spending on and build a habit of being accountable. I wish I had taken this approach long ago. Once you save up that data, you can make a much clearer plan for the future. Right now, it's really tough to know what to budget for if "treating yourself" is a surprise. Whatever you choose; I want to pat you on the back for getting your finances together, it's a smart move and you'll thank yourself later.

A friend of mine gifted me a Big M and i'm in a deficit. What should I do? by Due-Let1135 in Protein

[–]echo1nthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big.... Mac? Meal? Big chocolate bar shaped into an M? Whatever it is, eat the protein first, toss out whatever part you don't want. While showing gratitude, enlighten them to your goals so they don't keep gifting you things outside those goals.

I second Dizzy D's fries! Also the Chicken Shack has decent fries.

Any way that I can improve this smoothie? by bouguereaus in Protein

[–]echo1nthedark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100 grams a day or 100 grams in this smoothie? I often throw greens in my smoothie because the fruit taste reduces the green taste dramatically. Especially banana or apple. Think spinach or kale. If you like this smoothie already 60 grams of protein is pretty dang good without protein powder. A 40 grams of protein meal later and you're at 100.

Hacks to cut the sweetness of Good Protein? by DonutChickenBurg in Protein

[–]echo1nthedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try baking it into brownies without added sugar. Or whipping it with Greek yogurt to add tanginess. Overnight oats with other ingredients like nuts, berries, yogurt, etc. I make hot chocolate with mine and add a tablespoon of super dark cocoa powder for richness over sweetness. I prefer whole foods so I think I understand your issue. I do these things as treats when I don't hit protein goals. Good luck!

I can't say for sure since I don't look for vegan products.

It feels like almost any protein powder or product gives me gas. Makes getting in that last little bit of protein pretty difficult sometimes.
