How do you get enough protein??

[rudy76]

I have been trying to get my diet up to where it should be but how in the hell do you guys get enough protein in a day. From what I've read, to do it right you need about 2g of protein / lb. body weight. That makes 480g / day for me.

Thats a lot of meat, whey, soy, beans, milk etc.. in a day considering the most concentrated protein food is only about 23% protein.

If I drink too many whey shakes I get the shits somethin' crazy and dehydrate (is that normal)

How do you guys fit it all in?

Any advice.

Soy? Whatever you do, stay away from Soy.

Like most people, I consume some form of protein with every meal... that makes it 7 to 8 meals a day.

Meal 1 - 6-10 egg whites
Meal 2 - Whey shake
Meal 3 - Chicken breast or steak
Meal 4 - Whey casein blend (2:1 ratio)
Meal 5 - Tuna or chicken breast
Meal 6 - Steak
Meal 7 - Casein shake

Thats more than enough protein.

As for the dehydration, I've never really had that problem. Sounds unusual to me.
