More Protein

[Glycerine]

My personal trainer keeps telling me that I NEED to eat 100g of protein a day to gain muscle at 4' 11 and 86-90 lbs. On a good day, when I eat a lot of food, I get about 60-70g. I tend to eat a lot of Greek yogurt with whey powder and fruit/granola, sliced turkey with whole grain crackers, steak/fish/hamburgers/chicken.

Does anyone know any good high protein sources?

Without more supplements that's gonna be tough. You could add casein (slow release protein), preferably before sleep.

I'm little too and was told that I need more protein in my diet too in order to gain weight/muscle.

Avacados and broccoli are excellent for muscle growth.

I can get you to 80g in 1.5 meals, after that it's up to you. 100g a day is actually easy if you have the right products. In fact, there are very high quality products specifically designed for just your purposes.

1x serving (2 scoops) of Optimum Nutrition Gainer in a power shake = 60g

1x Clif builder bar (I suggest mint, it's delicious) = 20g

1x any natural source (meat, peanut butter, yogurt/milk) = 15g++


1 shake, 1 snack, and 1 "other" protein item... you can easily top 100g a day.

Broccoli and eggs.

eggs, tuna, salmon, organic grain fed chicken breast, beans, lentills, chick peas and steak. Eat all those on the regular.

I usually eat 2 protein bars (around 30 grams apiece) for breakfast every morning and have a nice sized portion of a lean protein for lunch and dinner... I work a very active job though, so I do it to avoid starving

 

[Stanton Moore]

Eat more vegetables.

Thanks so much everyone. Everything sounds a lot more doable.

sheep's milk
crown prince sardines
chickpeas, as jix noted

My mom has discovered liquid egg white, which she adds to fried veggies, corn soup, and omelets. My protein intake is about 80-90 grams a day without trying.

Protein is good for weight gain and bodybuilding. There are so many sources of protein like egg,fish,meat,chicken,vegetables and milk.

MarkHerry,

Thanks for all the tips, I have been able to incorporate more protein into my diet consistently.

100 grams to 150 grams protein in a day is enough to get fat burning and muscles building support.
Use natural and organic proteins foods rather than protein supplements and powder to get more high protein.
Eggs, fish, chicken, meat, cheese, nuts, beans, and green leafy vegetables are the rich sources of high protein.

If you can tolerate Milk, vitamin D milk, as much as you can drink in a day. If you can get down 4 raw eggs in D milk in a blender with peanut butter, NOTHING will put on weight faster.

Granted, this will be MUCH harder to do if you're not lifting weights, or doing some kind of strength resistance.

I'm an ectomorph, skinny guy, and I spent my ENTIRE life stuck at 160-165lbs at 6' until I started doing this at age 29. And I tried EVERYTHING, from squats, to whey, to MASSIVE calorie replacement meals ADDED to regular meals, and beyond. I'm now 180lbs. But I do lift weights.

Recent science has shown that Cholesterol (like in eggs and red meat) is a precursor to testosterone, KEY hormone in building mass.

I carb cycle when I want to lower my bf and as an herbie the low days are a pita. Often everything either tastes bad or will come with milk or an almost equal amount of carbs, and taste bad. I thought I got a pinch lucky finding Botan once - I haven't been swayed to buy pea protein powder on its own yet. Until I tasted it.

About 108 (for <100 in carbs) is the best number I end up getting. Protein bars, boca, and faux dogs. Thumb-twiddle days.
