How can I improve the variety of the food I eat without sacrificing my protein intake?
Currently eating ground beef, eggs, chickpeas, milk, and protein powder. Are there any other high protein foods I'm missing? Maybe funa fish or deens?
Variety of food
Buy whey in 50 lbs bulks containers off of ebay. It's like $340 or something and the protein will last you like 3+ months just depending on how much you intake. It comes out to around $5 or less per day if you get all of your protein from whey. Also, greek yogurt is really good, cheap, and has lots of protein
>greek yogurt
This only counts if you're european, the calorie to protein content in american yogurt is shit.
It's 450 calories for 80 grams of protein. It's one of the leanest calorie to protein foods that exists...
No store near me sells this unless Im mistaken, last I checked it was all sugared, its like when I went to the store and they had no plain steel pans, just non stick crap. Or no unflavored/unsweetenes whey at the store, or no lemon tea, just fucking sugared tea. I hate the south
Wal-Mart dude
different types of yoghurt exist
I need to see how much something like that costs in China lol
About 110 dollars here in India for 25kg whey concentrate
Jesus that's cheap
>$30 for 1kg of concentrate
>$100 for 1kg of isolate
This was from a manufacturing dealer . Branded dealers sell it at almost 300 dollars or more for same thing. I guess it's better to get it directly.
>3+ months
How the fuck, do you inhale it or what? A 50lb bag lasts 2 years of 2 scoops (50g) every weekday. You're supposed to supplement your food with it not replace it altogether.
As a side note, unflavored bulk whey has amazing shelf life. I had zero spoilage on a bag that survived 2 summers with no AC.
>You're supposed to supplement your food with it not replace it altogether.
supposedly, yes
Yeah, that was if you are wanting to replace all of your protein intake every single day for 3+ months at 230+ grams per day using only whey
Powdered skim milk is less than half the price, if you're lactose tolerant and mostly bulking.
>96 grams of protein
>$3.43
Try again. Bulk whey is still cheaper in a per unit of protein price comparison.
How much protein do you think you need?
Diogenes does it again.
Try to sub the ground beef for white meats at least every now and again, you're not gonna lose any amnoacids if you consume eggs, dairy and your protein powder is at least mostly whey. There's some incredible variety of taste in fish and poultry as well as many ways of getting those base ingredients to taste differently, and they're way less calorie-dense than red meat, even lean ground beef.
Fish, Salmon in particular.
Peanuts and peanut butter for a snack
You should eat more veggies as they have other vitamins you need. Pretty much impossible to go over on your calories with them. Very high quantity for low calorie food group.
Salmon and similar meats like char are overrated for fitness, way too fatty for protein content to be a staple even if you're one of the lucky ones that can get it for cheap. White fish can get pretty varied in taste and texture if you know how to cook them, and they have much better macros.
Salmon are good for your heart and joints due to the fish oil and omega 3. and you should still be doing cardio as it’s the easiest way to burn fat unless you already have a 6 pack (which is 5% if this board most here are larpers who are 30-40lbs overweight and just lie in the internet because if their mental issues)
There is such a thing as too much Omega 3 and you're 100% gonna get that with salmon as your main protein source. But fitness aside, salmon is good once in a while but I honestly still prefer white fishes as a staple, since they have a mild flavours that respond well to just about any seasoning you can get, while salmon will really be hard pressed to taste like anything except salmon no matter what you do to the damn thing. You could even cake it in fresh garlic paste and the taste wouldn't change too much, whereas with about 10 different dry herbs and quality Hispanices you can make blends that will give a different white fish dish every single day for two weeks straight.
How do you check for mercury concentration?
You can look that up online to get averages for fish species and size. Rule of thumb, though: the biggest the species and the bigger (and thus older) the individual fish within that species the greater the mercury concentration will be due to how it accumulates in fish through their food pyramid. Tuna and sharks are huge fish that live for a long time, and lo and behold, gave a lot of mercury in them. Since I'm Brazilian I can get fresh water fish cheaper and those are removed from the mercury problem, but some salt water ones are good as well like sardines, mackerel (not King Mackerel), saury and flounder.
chicken, obviously
