As of today I am able to hit my 60g of Protein with just food. No more shakes for me!

feels good doesn't it?!?

I rarely have a shake now - but occasionally there will be days when we just can't quite get there - or when I don't have time to fix an egg for Breakfast - you know? the shake is good to keep on hand for those times. but I didn't like having to *rely* on them.

Please share how you are doing it, I still have a shake every day to meet my protein, i just can't eat enough.

Please and thank you!

I'm eating about 3-4 oz of chicken/fish/beef for most meals, I've been able to tolerate pretty much anything so I get to work in a lot of variety. Breakfast is either cottage cheese or 2 scrambled eggs with some cheese. Right now I'm not eating anything that isn't a high Protein food. meat, cheese, and eggs.

I'm using http://www.myfitnesspal.com and it has a great nutrition calculator for recipes. So I can track protein per serving for anything I cook.

@@SilentBotts can you give an example of a day without Protein shake? How many calories usually?

I cannot wait until I don't have to drink shakes! SO sick of them! I'm only a week out...I'm so ready to chew on something. haha

Im over 10 months out and still rely on shakes to hit my Protein goals. Some days its a challenge to consume 100 grams of protein in solid form. I would rather drink it than go without it. Pounds are still coming off so I'm happy.
