protein powder in smoothies, eggs, greek yogurt, boiled chicken breast, canned beans, nuts (not a lot of protein but it’s a good snack replacement that has protein), uhhhh, yeah that’s what i use tbh

Right? Like I was originally 130 so I’m glad to be at 180 but I’m pretty sure like 20 of that is fat lol

I have some whey powder that I haven’t really used so I’ll have to try that out, thanks for the recommendation!

Also- I wouldn’t recommend potatoes. They are high carb and not enough protein to be worth it. They take seasoning and butter to taste good, which is empty calories through a protein lens, unless you like them plain and boiled. Of course in moderation, everything is good, don’t deprive yourself. But being protein focused? A good rule of thumb is 10 calories per 1 gram of protein. For example, 100 calories of boiled chicken is about 20g of protein
