Are you getting enough vitamin B12?

loads of beans & pulses, tofu, leafy greens, protein shakes
And still at half your recommended intake?? It's boring but huel helps me a lot with this

Fucked up how? Lack of carbohydrate post exercise will leave you flat afterwards. Protein has its place but CHO is more important for sports, especially repeated bouts of sports.

How much protein did they recommend? You didn't mention nuts, they're the best source in terms of protein per unit weight, maybe eat a few handfuls as snacks
I've read around 1.0g/kg body weight is right for cardio athlete people and I'm 95% sure I don't get enough through normal meals. I asked in this thread a few pages back, wanted to track it in MyFitnessPal or something and write down what I found here but never got around to it. Am still alive I guess

Any tips for upping protein intake? I thought I was doing alright, loads of beans & pulses, tofu, leafy greens, protein shakes after training (& the morning after) but was still feeling fucked about two days after hockey practice (there are other factors at play here I know, but protein was the first one a PT friend recommended I look at). Actually worked out my average intake & it looks like I'm getting about half my recommended protein! I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to double my intake! I already eat a lot of food!
