So the question is,

If you are at 75g of protein requirement, how do you cover it?

I am not following it exactly everyday, but most of the days it goes like this,

-> 4-5 eggs boiled (only 2 yellows and all whites) - rougly 20 grams
-> Chicken breast 150 grams - roughly 30-35 grams
-> Peanuts 50 grams - 10-15 grams
-> Red Beans 50 grams - 5 grams
-> White peas - 50 grams - 5-10 grams

What is your protien diet plan, if you are following one?
 
75g protein isn’t that deep :D

My logic is simple:
Eat eggs. Eat chicken. Accidentally eat dal. Boom, protein done.

If I’m short, I just add one more egg and call it “optimization.”
Peanuts help too, but they’re more emotional support than protein :D

Your plan’s already solid. Just don’t start counting peanuts one by one. :)
 
Chicken, beef, eggs, milk, peanut butter. And sometimes other things, but it is not always healthy for me in big portions all at once.
 
I usually do eggs, chicken or fish, plus yogurt or whey if I am short, something simple and easy to track
 
Trying to keep my protein sources… diversified:

-> Frog legs 150g – about 24–26g protein (not far from chicken, just smaller and harder to catch)
-> Snails (escargot) 150g – around 24g protein, very lean
-> Roasted mealworms 30g – roughly 14–15g protein

That’s already ~60–65g protein, so adding 2 eggs (~12g) easily gets me to the 75g target.

Jokes aside, nutritionally all three are actually legit: frog legs are close to chicken in protein per 100g, snails are similar to eggs in density but leaner, and mealworms are extremely protein-dense by weight. The main barrier is psychological, not nutritional.

Frog legs and Escargot, yeah.

Mealworms, not in a million years (who does that).

I'm big on eggs, fish, and chicken.

i see that you are on the lean side of female body type. that's actually not bad, if you wanna go for physical attractiveness then you body shape is excellent as it is. But if you want to put up some muscle then eat bananas. it's a tried and true hack to gain mass. do some exercise and eat yolk of egg, avoid the white fluid. eat meat because it's rich in protein like egg yolk. I'm sure after doing this, you'll be the talk of the town. :) need more advice or just wanna chat?? I am you guy. just hook me up and we can have even more meaningful and joyful convo later.

Same for me. I grew up close to the Alsace region in France and recall the weekend trips to eat that sort of things. No way for mealworms and any other insects, never.
 
Chicken breasts, eggs, tofu. That sort of thing plus protein supplements or pre-workout shake and all that.
 
For me it's eggs and i awlays eat eggs for breakfast
 
Being a vegetarian, this has been the most constant battle of my life. I work with -

- Paneer (Indian Cheese Cubes - flavourless on their own but have a nice soft texture and can be cooked in the oven after some simple marination.)
- Soya Chunks and Granules (I make a mean spicy minced soya dish that will blow your socks off)
- Peanut Butter
- Dal (Lentils - pretty much a staple)

And good ol' Whey to top it all up.

I've tried both Tofu and Tempeh, but just couldn't bring myself to eat them again.
 
Red meat is preferred source but not always available. Guava is what I end up eating. It got most protein in any fruit. It has 10% of protein compared to beef though.
