Best High Protein Foods

[paulalan]

Just a general question for everyone out there. What are some high protein foods that everyone incorporates in their diet? I'm trying to up my protein intake and I want to see if there's anything out there I might be missing. I seem to only be getting about one and a quarter of my body weight, I'd like to at least be at one and a half times or even twice my body weight in grams of protein per day. Thanks in advance.

sirloin, salmon (personal fave) 93/7 lean ground beef, tilapia, plain greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken tendorloins are just some of my weekly staples

twice your body weight is kinda high, im 180lbs and see no noticeable gains with anything above 160-165g daily

You don't really need that much protein especially if you are trying to gain. You need more protein while you are dieting, not the other way around.

Fish and chicken

If you are cool with fish, try canned mackerel.

I mean, you have to be REALLY cool with fish. I eat a can a day. 60-ish grams of protein.

Eggs for breakfast

Chicken for lunch/dinner

Can add in some tilapia

Walnuts for the added benefit of fats

Fish and chicken

you simply cannot beat fish and chicken....no matter how hard you try and how far and wide you search....they will always be the most protein packed calorie for calorie vs anything.




































unless you make tacos...........with a lot of lean ground beef and heavy on the cheese with no veggies (and taco8 powder mixed with the seasoning)

Lean ground beef (lean ground sirloin). Yeah, it has a little fat in it but this stuff is so anabolic you are doing yourself a disservice not incorporating it. It's pretty much on par with eggs. Also truly love the fat free cottage cheese (Kroger's sells the best tasting, and it's 5 carb:15 pro)

Yeah, but chicken doesn't taste good :S lean ground beef all the way!

(fish is great, though!)

this is true, I prefer fish (tilapia flavored the way I like it of course) and (not so) lean ground beef. I like the more middle grade ground beef, like a ground round. sirloin is good, but damn....sometimes when I make taco meat I need some fat in there. But yeah, if you are looking for protein to fat ratio with protein as the objective....leaner grades are necessary. but chicken breast does kinda suck, unless you use a sauce or some cheese on top of it to flavor it up. I'm a dark meat man myself, and that defeats the purpose of eating chicken pretty much since you start moving towards the beef fat to protein ratios

If it weren't for having farts from hell, I'd eat 20 eggs a day.

Blend them up, chug them as fast as possible. Reap the benefits. Reap the **** out of it.

1 can tuna
2-3 scoops nonfat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Mix thoroughly. The PB taste cuts through the fishy tuna taste PERFECTLY. Its like cranberry juice and vodka

meat. Quinoa is ok as at least for a grain its a complete protein, but a lot of carbs come with it.

for reference sake, there isn't a piece of scientific evidence out there that shows any benefit even for olympic grade training athletes to getting over .8g/lb.

Here's a good example

http://jap.physiology.org/content/73/2/767.short

they saw no change in lean mass gains on a hypocaloric diet going from .61g/lb (1.35g/kg) to 1.2g/lb (2.6g/kg) in 4 weeks. It was a double blind group as well.

If u hunt u could stock up on deer n ne other wild game, I'm a big fan of deer meat tho! Love that ****

[Type O Hero]

Yeah, I did notice my muscles stayed about the same on a high protein vs. lower protein diet (i.e., 180g per day vs. 120g per day)
