Gaining muscle with minimal meat...can it be done?

[tfox_75]

Hey. I have been bodybuilding for around 10 years and have made great gains. My diet has relied mostly on whole food with a lot of lean meats. A little over 8 months ago i was in an accident and had to have a large part of my stomach removed. I'm now ready to get back to lifting to try and gain back the 50 or so lbs i've lost. My problem is that i can't eat more than a couple chicken breasts a day. Do you think MRP's and protein powder would work to get my daily protein intake? I have a dietician but he's full of shit. He told me that i only need 50 grams of protein a day to put on muscle......HELP!!

You can get by just fine with a couple chicken breasts and some protein powder. Space everything out so that your protein meals look something like this:

9:00 am: Eggs

10:00 am: Shake

12:30 pm: Chicken

2:30 pm: Shake

5:30 pm: Chicken

Well, you get the idea. Spread it out and get your protein sources from wherever you can.

Don't forget, beans have plenty of protein too! Add them to every meal you can for a little boost.

Add digestive enzymes to your regime, honey, seriously. Take them with every meal.

Go to a real vitamin store, find a nice comprehensive compound that you will be able to afford to purchase regularly.
