Really having a hard time getting in protein!
How do you do it?
I did well when I was on liquids but now that I can eat real food I am struggling. Here is what my day consists of:
Greek yogurt 16gms
Soup 12-14gms
3-4oz of meat and a veggie -around 20 gms
No matter what I seem to be under my calorie goal of 600-700 and protein goals of 60-70. I am seriously considering hitting the protein shakes again because I feel like I am sucking at this. I finally bit the bullet and tried to make myself eat more so I would hit the protein goal but then I accidently went over the calorie/carb goals.
Anyway I am not beating myself up about since I generally don't get in enough calories but I am hoping to figure out a better balance. What do you guys suggest? Where should I add food and what foods on my current diet should I avoid?
PS: I am 6 weeks out:)
