You hear this a lot, but it is incredibly difficult to eat eg 175g of protein every day. That's 4 chicken breasts, every day.
- elbows 2y agoI don't think it's that difficult if you're training a lot and eating accordingly. For someone eating 3000 calories a day, that's less than 25% of calories from protein, which is pretty reasonable. It's harder if you're not eating a lot overall, but still doable with some planning and the occasional protein shake.
