  • See Hippy's post below, 2.2 is very high. He recommends 1.6 [though I stick to 2.0 when dieting, and it ain't fun...] but 0.4 gram per kg is really quite low.

    Are you sure is it that low?

    You can also try 1 gram per kg of your desired weight. If you know you carry 20 KG of pure lard, just deduce the lard. That leaves, say, 120 kg - 20 = 100 and 100 grams of protein in one meal is a bit of a A Sit.

    But not impossible. eyes up chicken

    Though you wrote also don't eat a lot of meat... yes, you can eat 100 grams with pulses/seitan/soy but I would not be able to digest that in one sitting I think.

    A combination of a meat/fish and a pulse with some soy/seitan would do it though. But if you are already a picky eater, I think we need to identify first what you like to eat :)

  • Yep, definitely that low. I'm not picky at all, per se, but you'll never catch me eating a dry chicken breast, rice and salad, for instance. Plus my partner is vegan and I only purchase meat to take home if I'm sure of the ethics for it, so in practice I only really eat meat out.

  • You've already mentioned whey which is the obvious one. What about stuff like Quorn?

  • Skyr / Fage are not vegan but high protein
    Seitan is high protein and vegan
    So is soy stuff
    Split peas / lentils are a win you can get easy heat packets if you want to keep stuff at work
    Porridge with one spoon of peanut butter and one scoop of chocolate whey is a staple for me.

    I hate dry chicken breast myself blergh!!! And this macro fussery is not needed in your case. Eat your protein / fruit and veg and take it from there.

    And eat some of what you like.

    Basics first :)
