I'm stuck at 136 of 233 already drinking a protein shake, another 100 seems unrealistic! Any help reaching my daily goal ?

    Grilled chicken, a nice steak, some pork chops, eggs with cheese, tuna sandwich, salmon filet, talapia. ground turkey (can put this in soup, tacos, taco salad), greek yogurt. Yum!

    Why is your goal 233? Maybe it's too high?

    How have you calculated your goal?

    233?? Holy smokes. My daily goal is 60 and I already have a hard enough time hitting that.

    Chicken, white fish, aduki beans, tuna steak, eggs all are protein rich foods. Try increasing those in you diet to achieve your goal naturally, obviously portion size matters. Good luck.

    Why is your protein goal so high? How do you have room to fit any carbs and fat and still eat a calorie deficit with such a high protein goal?

    Good point. Isn't some of the best calorie to protein ratio like 6 cal per gram?

    That's like 1400 calories right there just on protein.

    I'm pretty sure you don't need anywhere near 233g of protein a day.

    +1

    Though I can see how it might arise at say 35% of 2660 cals.

    Before any input says my calorie goal is 3370 and 168 protein but the protein goes up by the end of day - is that because of exercise ? Thanks!
