Found a thing that says I you should get a gram of protein for every lb of your weight. Said a guy that weighs about 180lbs should be getting about 200g of protein a day.Written myself a training day food plan and a rest day food plan. Need to figure out what I can have for lunch that has 35g of protein and I can eat it at work so it must take minimal preparation or be transportable and edible cold.So far I have...TRAINING DAYShake (2 scoops) 26gMackerel 17gLUNCH 35gSmart Bar 15gShake (3 scoops) 40gDinner 50gTuna 20gTOTAL 203gREST DAYShake (3 scoops) 40gMackerel 17gLUNCH 35gSmart Bar 15gDinner x 1 45gDinner x 2 30gTuna 20gTOTA L 202gI have generally been having 2 dinners recently. Just out of hunger. I'm starting this next week after my exams so I have a few days to figure out what this lunch can be.
how did you work out how much protein content is in your food?
Check the packaging of the food. The dinner ones are estimates but I know if I have 3 piece of chicken then I'm about there so I just try to get as much meat as possible.

Since I've been at uni my energy has felt so small and I'm feeling tired all the time, I think it's probably something lacking in my diet. My workout has gone from okay to non-existent.Can people list a few foods that help you keep energy throughout the day?Also, if I was to eat/snack in the evening, I know it's not good for you, but what would be the ideal thing to eat?

Made fried rice with prawns. The prawns are like 20% protein and I had the 320g bag in two sittings. The's over 30g a bowl right thurr and you can have wings or ribs on the side without looking or feeling like you're going nuts on the meat.This is the way forward. And yes I know, fried is bad. But yamumdoe.
the way this guy knows the grams of protein in each food is sick

Current Diet PlanBreakfastMorning smoothie made with milk, banana, raspberries (EXPENSIVE!), blueberries, honey from duggins lane down the road from me (EXPENSIVE!), yogurt, 100% gold standard whey and kiwi fruit.Toast with wholemeal bread.Glass of water.Morning snackCrackers with butter and cheese.Pack of crisps.Lunch2 wholemeal batches with either tuna, chicken, turkey or ham.Crisps.DinnerVaries massively but for example 7 mini chicken breasts (EXPENSIVE!), pasta with cheese sprinkled on top and a glass of OJIce creamPre workout shake with milk and creatine.Post workout shake with water.Before bed.Hot and spicy chicken wings.Add some improvements bitches. Morning snack needs to be improved but it only takes about 5 minutes to make in the morning and I'm usually already late for work after making the smoothie. Dinner varies massively but usually has vegetables, expensive high protein meat (smoked haddock anyone?) and a decentish carb such as brown rice. I only occasionally have chicken wings before bed like say 3 times a week and on a weekend I have 2 cheat meals, for example a TGI fridays and Dominoes pizza.P.S I'm a fussy eater so no curry type sloppy dishes.
