I’m about 140lbs (10 stone) and only eat roughly 115-120g of Protein a day.
I just find it hard to eat a lot of Protein!
Protein Shakes and Protein Bars (although easy to consume) make me really bloated, so I don’t like having them.
I don’t eat Eggs or Greek Yoghurt, so it’s not that easy for me to include Higher Protein in my snacks either.
I know you mentioned that you don’t eat yogurt, but it’s a great alternative to protein powder if you’re open to trying it! I’d recommend 200g of Greek yogurt—choose a low-fat option like 0% or 2% fat. If that doesn’t work for you, 36g of peanut butter powder can be a great substitute.
And yes, absolutely! You can also increase your protein intake by combining two meals or snacks or doubling your protein portions—for example, instead of 100g of chicken, go for 200g of chicken. Small adjustments like these can help boost your protein intake without adding much complexity!
@ Thank you Melissa for your prompt answer!
I actually make flatbreads with Skyr yoghurt, but unfortunately I just don’t like the taste of yoghurt on its own.
Can’t normally eat more than about 160g of chicken or meat (I just feel stuffed). But I’ll definitely try the peanut butter powder!
If I can up the protein in my snacks, I think that can get me closer to 140g of protein. 🙏
