tatyfit: thanks for your answer.. i'm so confused by that whole protein thing. could you please tell me how a typical eating day looks like for you? :)

Not a problem :) This is pretty vague, but it generally goes something like:

Eggs on toast for breakfast, something like a chicken salad, burrito, curry or stir-fry for lunch, then usually something meat-based for dinner eg sausages, chicken, steak, beef stir-fry plus veges and all that, and I just snack on whatever tickles my fancy at the time during the day if I get hungry.

Basically I get the majority of my protein from eggs (2-3 every day, 12-18g) and meat (sometimes for two meals, around 50g), but everything else adds up. I sometimes get up to 20g just from veges (cauliflower, broccoli, corn, beans are high in protein), 10-15g from bread and wraps, 10-15g from dairy (adding cheese to wraps, yoghurt or milk in curries and sauces etc), and using quinoa instead of rice as it has a higher protein content (nearly 6g for 1/4c uncooked).

If you find that you just can’t get enough through your food, or you don’t like it, you can always look at getting a protein supplement (usually around 27g protein for a 30g scoop of it). 

Hope that helps a little :)

Edit: Sorry, I had a brain-fart and forgot to send it privately, hope you see it!

  1. tatyfit said: that helped :D now i see the loop hole: i eat very little meat (3-5 meals/week) because i rarely crave it and only like chicken and fish (beef/veal are too expensive, hate pork). i definitely need to stock up on quinoa & keep up eating 3 eggs per day
