5 meals a day is 27g per meal. If one of those "meals" is a proton shake that's 4 meals you need to factor for a day. When I first started upping the protein I found Cottage cheese before bed to make up any deficit during the day an easy fix.
Have you worked out your carbs/fats macros and how many calories you're aiming for?

FWIW, I was definitely able to add mass without going anywhere near 2g/kg.
But I guess the main ones would be: protein instead of carbs for breakfast, snack on protein instead of carbs (nuts, boiled eggs, tins of fish), and realistically - use protein shakes.

Its doable without having to eat huge volumes . quark/ cottage cheese/ SKYR is good bang for buck. Seitan has an awful lot of protein in it, though is pretty salty stuff. 4/5 meals will cover 135g easily. Also possible to get a few extra grams in meals across the day with judicious choices of legumes and veg that you eat. Are you adverse to shakes/ supplements ?

How do people make sure they are eating enough protien? 2g per kg of lean mass for me is about 135g for me. Without drinking a couple of protien shakes I find it hard to eat enough.
