60g protein a day?

hi guys, wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm really struggling to get all my protein in. never gave it a thought for the first 6 months but I've been on a plateau for about 3 months and i read that we should be eating 60g of protein a day. I really struggle with meat, and in a chicken breast there is 22g of protein - I'd never be able to manage a whole breast. I drink a pint of skimmed milk in the morning, 15g protein, but thats my best efforts so far. any ideas or tips? Thanks

Try this, my doctor is really pushing it. 42 grams of Protein in a 3 oz shot. The taste blows, but one of these a day will supplement your protein.

Protein Shots! Buy Cheap New whey liquid Protein Vials Bullets by IDS Sports Ready To Drink RTD! Protein Vials!

I love some of the protein bars on the market. Cliff Bars have a new line that offer 20 grams of protein per bar. I enjoy the mint chocolate. A little high in calories (240) but I compensate for it. I have tried almost all the protein drinks and powders on the market! My favorite is Wonderslim Fruit Punch, which I mix with Crystal Light Fruit Punch. TRULY (and I wouldn't lie on this site) you can't taste the protein in this drink. It's yummy!

By the way, one more thing. I mix my protein shots with Crystal Light. It gives the shot a better flavor. I get 26 gram protein shots in the nutrition aisle in Walmart. $9.97 for six shots.

Will you gain weight if you eat over the recommended 60g a day?. It's all a bit confusing for me!. I'm just about to have my surgery and I'm trying to get as much information as possible.

thanks.

I'd add a good-quality protein supplement. My favorite is the PURE unflavored whey protein isolate from Bariatric Eating. I stir in into all kinds of things to bump up the protein.

Holy smack - 60 g? YIKES! I am struggling to get in 40 at this point....UGH! I am addicted to Wendy's chili - a large has 28 grams of protein....and it is so yummy.

Guess I will start sampling some shakes and see what I can find that I like - my mom like the atkins ones...but I got burned out on them pre surgery........

hmm doing the .37 math thing makes me need 82 grams per day...after paying close attention to journaling all food, that puts me at about half of what I am supposed to get and explains the insane amount of hair falling out. I'm going to look at my protein supps and see what I need to do to get the grams up. This could also explain the lack of weight loss I am experiencing.
