Need more protein in my diet

[ProjectSwole]

Currently eating;
18oz chicken breast
5oz salmon
4.5oz turkey steaks
200g egg whites
2 scoops whey PWO
25g almonds

total 275g protein

i weight 215lbs so was looking for around 400g. Any ideas?

Perhaps I could double the salmon and turkey and add Greek yoghurt in... Is 80g protein to much to consume in one go? That would be around 365g protein

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and egg whites.

You are on the right track here. Also add in pasteurized eggwhites for another easy 50g of protein a day. I personally get about 60g protein average per meal for 7 meals a day but some meals are higher and lower. I think you are fine if you hit 80g in one meal but don't do every meal that way.

Another thing that may help, I wake up in the middle of the night hungry as hell so a year or so back my nutrition coach had me add in a "meal" at 4am. All it is these days is 2.5 cups eggwhites and 1.5 tbsp macadamia nut oil. Wake up, drink it, go back to bed, BAM!!! 60g protein for the 1st meal of the day and it took 2 minutes tops to consume.

It doesnt bother me anymore these days but just a hint to make them easier to drink......add half a scoop of whatever you favorite flavored whey protein powder is and it will taste more like you are drinking a shake with milk instead of egg whites

I use unflavoured whey, so that might not help! I think I have a few samples laying about though so might just add a tad bit of that, or mix it with some orange juice

Why do you think you need more protein?

I recommend, that you don´t use more protein. The amount you take is enough. Instead, take protein right through the day and not only eating meat. Fish, cream cheese and cottage cheese, I recommend. Amino acids after the train mixed with maltodextrin ensure fast supply in the muscle. Protein from caseinbevor you go to sleep ensures slow but long supply of muscle overnight.
