I usually skip the tuna meal cause I'm too full. Just for FYI, here is my protien breakdown for one day…

It's a great way to add the extra bit if you feel the need, and that's what the shakes are for. I drink 1 or 1.5 servings a day on average. Today I had a nice salmon burger loaded with veggies on whole wheat bread. I love that stuff.

I usually have about 2-3 protein shakes a day just because i'm so busy; the convenience factor is huge. If I had a little more time in the day I wold probablly break it down to 1 shake a day and more meals. Great posts.

When I first started working out, I wasn't using any protein supplements, and truth be told, I wasn't eating enough natural protein either. The results were disappointing - I was losing weight, but had no luck bulking up. Next time around, I started taking 2 protein shakes a day (one before my workout, one after), and the results were fantastic. Even without eating much chicken or tuna (and only milk in my cereal), I saw REALLY impressive gains. Not bad for about $25/mo (the cost of the Whey Protein). Very informative post!

Then it's the leanest protein you can find. BTW, check out Nectar protien shakes, they taste real good and are easy to drink and mix. BTW, I have a nutritionist plan my meals and I weigh 145lbs. His suggested intake was like 200g protien a day! 8 meals! I just couldn't eat that much. For eggs, you should just eat the egg whites, not the yolks. Then it’s the leanest protein you can find.

They say 1g per pound of body weight is optimal if you're active. So for me it should be 180 g a day of protein, which is quite a bit. Ya i’ll watch out for that.

If you find yourself having a lot more pimples or back pain by the kidneys then cut back. Otherwise you will definitely want to take at least 100g of protein a day.
