Anyone else having issues with getting enough protein?

Question

I’m barley interested in meat at all. I eat eggs and randomly chicken sausage and bacon but that’s about it and honestly I’m prolly not getting enough protein says my mother lol what are you eating to help get enough protein?

Answer

I crave steak and beef haha, I can't say I'm having the same issue :P

Answer

I am a vegetarian, so I eat 0 protein lol or the American diet would have you think. I get plenty of protein 😊 almonds, spinach and salmon are my go to.. I don’t do tofu or soy either. but you’d be surprised how much more protein is packed in veggies and nuts than is in meat.

Answer

Go for greek yogurt! It has «lots of protein. That’s what got me through first trimester since I couldn’t (still can’t) eat any meats

Answer

Nuts , beans , quinoa , tofu ... plenty of non meat options for proteins

Answer

I couldn’t eat anything meaty in my first trimester so I relied heavily on beans, tofu, nut butters, oats. I made a big batch of lentil or bean soup every week to have for lunch. I’d drink chocolate soy milk as an afternoon snack. I loved Thai curries with steamed tofu (fried would taste too meaty). I think I ate hummus every day. We think protein = meat but there are plenty of ways to bulk up without it.

Answer

nuts oaty cereals all have protein in them. My family are big meat eaters theres probably one day a week we don't eat meat. But there's plenty of things out there that have more protein than others. Brown bread has more your body needs than white. Plus carry on with eggs as they are a good source of protein, You dont need to eat more than you think you do so i wouldn't worry as long as you're getting protein in your diet that's all that matters.

Answer

Eggs, almonds/peanuts, oats, broccoli, black beans, chickpeas, whey or plant based protein powder, Ezekiel bread, quinoa, etc.
