Interesting read.
In the table thingy it says 1-2 palms of protein dense food in 1-2 meals per day.
I do the cooking and struggle with this for my veggie other half. I want to try and get our diets back in order, including preparing lunch boxes for work.
Does anyone have any suggestions* for veggie options?
I guess an egg is a plam? Avocado? Lentils? Anything else?
Cheers.
*please no one say nuts. They cost a fortune here and are never eaten.

Frozen peas, quinoa, tahini paste, soy beans, tofu?

Skyr / Fage and other high protein yoghurts are also excellent for the veggies.
Avocado/quinoa/tahini are not that high in protein, pulses are carbs and protein so they are handy (lentils, beans) and soy stuff/quorn/seitan are low carb protein sources.
Moar on t'internets :)

Quorn, dairy products, beans (kidney etc)

I always found this very helpful on how to set goals for leanness (as weight is only a part of it)
https://www.precisionnutrition.com/cost-of-getting-lean
My diet is already quite good, but to get leaner I need to exercise more. Due to the schoolrun cycling isn't happening as often as it did, and I don't feel like going to the gym 6 times a week cos I have other priorities.
Now this graph does not use calorie counting as PN doesn't like that system (bollocks to that for me) but if I look at how "good looking people" exercise, they do exercise more than I do. So, I accept that and accept I won't be that much leaner unless I prioritize.
(25% fat for a female is however healthy so I don't have a reason either to exercise more than I do now just to get leaner...weights 2 a week, walking/cycling 2-3 a week, that could be a bit better! Stupid car school run combined with the rainy NI weather...)
