Difficulty getting enough protein

I_Am-aZon Posts: 893 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/02/28, 10:36 AM I find that I am having a difficult time ingesting enough protein for my progressive gains program. I do take a whey protein substitute once a day but I am still under my goal of 194 grams per day by at least 25%. I also eat fairly well (I can't eat much more than I already do) - I would prefer to get this missing protein naturally, but I will be willing take more supplements if it comes down to that. ...Further question to this point - is there any harm in taking too much protein in the form of supplements?

Seriously, take more supps if you need to in order to get your daily goal. I personally think it's better to get protein from more traditonal means however, there are times I don't get enough that way and I do a protein shake or protein bar. Aslo, if you like tuna, try those tuna pouches by starkist. They're great and have 19g of protein. They're very efficient and convenient. Plus, you get those critical Omega-3 fats DP

When I did the program I was eating about 8 egg whites a day, along with protein shakes (2) and chicken is really high in protein as well. Make sure you are also getting enough carbs with this program. -------------- Lisa Just laugh about it....
