I get 5 meals in a day with about 40 grams in each. I then add a couple of shakes in and go over 300. I found the key to getting it all in is more small meals.
200+ gm protien how??

first of all you need to have down 2-3 protein drinks per day, which is around 80grams itself. eat tuna throughout the day, about 2-3 cans is 90 grams right there.
Now, this is nearly 175grams of protein with this, you are NOT going to be filled up so obviously your going to be eating more. it is not very hard to achieve this.
you double what i put and that is 350grams of protein!! simple

You can get protein with varying qualities and absorption rates. For example, you can obtain 50 grams of: Soy Isolate protein for about 51 cents, Whey concentrate protein for about 59 cents, Caseinate protein for about 72 cents, Egg White protein for about 73 cents, and Milk Isolate protein for about 74 cents. Make one of these protein powders the foundation of your in-between whole meals and immediately post-workout shakes. And if you find you're probably not getting enough protein in your whole meals in spite of spending a good deal on milk, eggs, and meats each week, consider having a small protein shake with your meals as well. And I've noticed that (at least in my area) unusually good deals on ground beef, steaks, chicken breasts, turkey breasts and occasionally healthy seafood such as salmon usually come around at least every few weeks or so. I keep my eye on the grocery store fliers when they come out for that very reason, and I try to take advantage of those oppurtunities to stock up.
And as far as the actual taking in of the additional food needed during serious bulking/strength cycles, it can be a real bitch, especially considering all the drinking water you should be filling your stomach with throughout the day as well. I've found that (at least for me) it is a little easier on the GI system to gradually build up your daily caloric intake over the course of 4 to 7 days rather than just all of the sudden drastically upping your caloric intake. Just my two cents...

This was orignally posted by beezers in another thread but its a GREAT VERY clean diet that I am going to start following and you get 470 g of protein a day, which can be lowered or raised
to meet your needs.... here goes
MEAL 1 8:00am
3 cups cottage cheese
1 large banana
MEAL 2 10:00am
16 egg whites
1 cup cottage cheese
4 slices whole grain bread
2 tbsn. natural peanut butter
MEAL 3 1:00pm(post workout)
Protein shake
carb drink
MEAL 4 3:00pm
10oz. steak
2 cups brown rice
MEAL 5 5:00pm
10oz. ground turkey
2 cups brown rice
MEAL 6 7:00pm
8oz. fresh salmon
4 slices whole grain bread
6 large brocoli spears
MEAL 7 9:30pm
10oz. steak
1 medium potato
6 large brocoli spears
TOTALS (approx)
calories- 5085
protein- 471
carbs- 518
fat- 95
You can save yourself loads of $$$ by eating whole food sources of protein... it doesnt matter where your protein comes from and whey protein is only really good right aftera workout because it gets in the blood so quickly.... think about this... there is only 1 shake in that meal plan, that is some good shit!
YUM
