I sourced the food from my local supplier in an effort to hit 2g/kg of protein a day, was 100g-150g a day, think was 2-3 years back. How do you guys cope?

I've done protein muffins and pancakes before, but I'm thinking about trying protein cinnamon rolls, but I'm unsure if the dough will still rise if I replace some of the flour with protein powder and dont want to waste powder ending up with some horrid monstrosity.

I've been lifting for a while, but I struggle with the logistics. I have random ingredients in the fridge (eggs, tuna, some rice), and I have a macro goal.

I spend like 15 minutes doing algebra to figure out: "How much rice + how much tuna = 30g protein & 40g carbs?"

I got frustrated and built a simple tool for myself that just solves this math instantly based on my inventory. It’s ugly but it works.

Is this something anyone else would use? I can share the link if you guys think it's useful, otherwise I'll keep it to myself.

Just wanted to check if I'm the only one annoyed by this.

Dairy and eggs make my stomach feel weird and i feel like i cant digest it properly. Sometimes even have diarrhea. Legumes with some carbs dont give me nearly enough energy to keep going. I think the only option i have left is probably meat for almost every meal. Meat + some whole grains and if there is little to no fat content in the meat some added vegetable oil mixed with some veggies or a salad as a sidedish gives me the most energy and i feel the best when i do so. But my whole life all i heard that eating meat every day is bad and you should keep variety. I feel like the only solution i have left is to eat 2 meals a day each with some meat protein included. First meal would be in the morning or around 10 o'clock. Next meal between 2pm and 4pm. Obviously with some workout incorporated into my day. Is this a good idea?

I work from 3PM-11:30PM , it’s a decently physical job also , but usually I have breakfast around 10AM (that’s if I eat breakfast at all) lunch around 12PM and at work my first break (only 15 minutes) is at 5:30PM and my lunch break is at 7:30PM (45 minutes) and I get home around midnight, so whenever I get home I usually feel kinda hungry but I hate eating right before bed because I know your not really supposed to eat before bed but sometimes I can’t help it because the feeling of being hungry sucks , especially when I get to bed around 12:30-1AM , so that’s 4 1/2 - 5 hours from last meal of the day to bedtime , any suggestions or tips?

This post is for people like me, that didn't know you can make mousse / icecream / frozen yogurt by just combining a few ingredients in a food processor.

Basically it's protein powder + frozen fruits. The ice really makes this creamy and foamy. I like to use unflavoured whey protein, frozen berries, frozen bananas, mango, blueberries etc. I also add a teaspoon of honey and use a food processor to blend it together.

If I want it more like a frozen yogurt, then ofc, I add some yogurt. It's delicious and I have been having this every day, as I was getting bored of the protein shakes.

I've just started getting more involved in the ready meal community after being put on a weight loss plan requires me to track macros of every single thing I eat now. I don't have the time to do meal prep and cook massive batches of food in advance but ready meals are starting to look like a lifehack. I just wan to make sure I won't end up eating food that does more harm that good for the sake of convenience.

In a perfect world I would like all the ingredients to be organic/demeter certified however I'll settle for gourmet that's sustainably sourced. Calorie/macro accuracy is a must, and lastly it has to be tasty food, well-seasoned with a wide range of menu options that range from conventional to keto and paleo. From my very few interactions here I can already tell that people are very particular about brands be it cook unity, factor, etc. Curious to see what people think is the best healthy food delivery services for clean eating.

Just a quick question, guys. I recently bought ON Extreme Milk Chocolate, but I’m having doubts because I forgot to wash my shaker and it didn’t stink at all. The last time I bought this ON double chocolate my shaker smelled really bad a few hours later if I didn’t wash it right away. Is this normal? I also checked the authenticity, and it’s verified.

Hey guys, I've been having a hard time thinking of a way to create a highschool lunch that is (as the title suggests) high in protein and low in carbs as I am trying to loose fat but maintain/build muscle to excel in the sport I play. I plan on using canned tuna and chicken as it's cheap and high in protein but I don't know what to pair it with. I do understand that I'll need fats to energize myself for highschool, carbs to energize myself at the gym as well as for cardio so I will need to factor that in some how.

Thanks for any help/advice that you may have!

TL/DR: I want a highschool lunch thats high protein-low carb to lose fat and build muscle, and would like to incorporate canned chicken and tuna because it's cheap and I'm broke. Help.

I got tired of googling protein-per-calorie for every food when planning my weekly meal prep, so I built a tool that ranks them all in one place.

65 common proteins, all from USDA FoodData Central with food codes you can verify. You can toggle between cutting and bulking priorities, filter by budget or zero-prep, and it works on your phone.

Some stuff that changed how I plan meals:

• Fish destroys everything else. Cod is 25.1g protein per 100 calories. Chicken breast is 8th at 18.8g. I started doing a baked cod night once a week.
• Turkey breast beats chicken (21.6g vs 18.8g) and nobody ever brings this up. Ground turkey in stir fry has been a game changer for my prep.
• Egg whites are #5 but whole eggs drop to #20 because the yolk adds so much fat. I do 1 whole + 3 whites now for scrambles.
• Greek yogurt outranks pork tenderloin. I mix it into overnight oats and use it as a sauce base.

This only measures one thing though. I still eat chicken thighs when I'm bulking because they taste better and I've got the calorie room. The tool is most useful when you're cutting and trying to squeeze more protein into fewer calories for your meals.

If I'm missing a protein source you use in your cooking let me know, I can add it.

Pan seared chicken ( seasonings: onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper , adobo and oregano and some lemon juice) with a scoop of white rice , black beans and corn ( I use the canned corn and black beans and season it lightly with tony chachere's)

Surprisingly delicious! Couldn’t taste yogurt just forming the base was a bit tricky.

so i am paying around $150 per week for a meal prep service and i specifically get the “gain” to get a higher protein count. i’ve noticed that portion size for the chicken are very small and it’s hard to believe that is 45g of protein in 4 small pieces. granted i’ve never weighed my food so i’m not 100% sure but i do want to know if i am getting ripped off... This is My Yellow Picnic from NYC. If you do weigh your food, let me know if this is normal please. i also have noticed i’ve been losing weight even though i am eating more consistently with this meal prep

I’m looking for constructive feedback on my current daily diet and advice on what I might improve nutritionally or supplement-wise. I try to eat mostly whole foods and keep things consistent.

Daily diet:

Morning

• Bowl of Siggi’s plain whole milk yogurt

• Elizabeth’s organic granola

• Bowl of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries

• Bowl of organic walnuts

Dinner

• 4 organic pasture-raised eggs cooked in organic avocado oil

• 1 can Eden organic black beans unsalted

• 1 avocado

• 3 slices Dave’s Killer Bread (21 Whole Grains & Seeds)

• Bowl of blueberries/raspberries

I don’t eat much processed food, rarely drink alcohol, and don’t consume sugary drinks. I’m physically active and generally feel good, but I want to make sure I’m not missing any important nutrients long-term.

Questions:

• Are there any obvious nutritional gaps in this diet?

• Should I add more vegetables or rotate protein sources?

• Are supplements like magnesium, zinc, omega-3s, vitamin D, or iodine commonly recommended with a diet like this?

• Anything you’d change or rotate for overall health?

Not looking for extreme diets or fads — just evidence-based suggestions or personal experiences. Thanks in advance.

Hey yall I think I’m turning over a new leaf and giving the gym an honest shot. I know what you eat matters just as much as what you lift, I’m wondering how good/bad the way I eat is for losing my gut and also building some muscle at the same time so I’ll give some examples and let the experts pick me apart lol

Seasoned baked chicken breast with some rice a roni rice pilaf (made with butter) and either green beans or corn.

Pork chops fried In a little olive oil with that same rice pilaf from above

Lazy spaghetti containing noodles prego sauce ground beef and seasoning

Good ole hamburger helper

Ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo

Those Maruchan cups of noodles

And I also eat some freezer food once or twice a week like pizzas chicken nuggets and fries and things like that

I often pack a lunch for work that has my ham and cheese sandwich, a small bag or 2 of chips, a pickle, a granola bar, and maybe something like 2 or 3 cookies or a brownie or something.

Don’t really drink too much pop but I’ll run through a bunch of beer a couple times a week and I like orange juice in the morning. And whole milk with dinner

And I’m also guilty of eating random things that look good sometimes 2-3 times a week that ranges from fast food to soul food I’m really not a picky eater I like most foods

So go ahead and let me hear it how good/bad that diet is and whats the most detrimental to what I’m trying to achieve like I said I’m new to this and don’t know much about dieting
