How are we getting enough protein?! I’m so full and nowhere near eating the mg I need. You?
Omg I just did the math and I’m not getting near enough the protein I need to be!
Per calorie and nutrition profile I prefer to eat yogurt, salmon, egg whites, eggs, tofu. Chicken and red meat twice a week. If I eat any more protein I’m going to pop! I’m so full! Per calorie, I’m not a huge fan of protein powders.
- I am (42F) 5’4 and doing 1,500 cal or fewer each day for a calorie deficit. SW 252 CW 230 GW 140 if that helps.
- Per my current weight it is recommended I eat around 200 grams of protein each day. I don’t see how that’s possible at 1,200-1,500 calories unless I eat only protein.
I consider myself very well versed in nutrition. I eat Mediterranean diet style, low carb. I kicked cancer to the curb awhile back so I know how to eat well and now it’s time to drop the serious amount of weight I gained from cancer (metabolic issues were huge.)
Protein and collagen are super important to me bc I’m in menopause (from surgery) and chemo left me with serious joint pain. I don’t want to skimp on protein, I really need it.
How are you doing it without adding calories?!
