I’m on a program right now where I’m supposed to eat 150 plus grams of protein everyday.

It’s unreasonably difficult to eat enough protein to hit the target. I get full and stuffed, I don’t want to eat anymore, I still have like half the protein to go.

For people who are eating their target protein levels, how do you do it? How do you keep it palatable? How do you prevent satiety from stopping you?

    How much and what kind of exercise are you doing each day?

    3 days a week: hour of resistance training, broken up into: chest triceps, back biceps, legs and core… Plus some sandbag dynamic movement

    2 days a week: 45m of 150bpm+ cardio

    Weekends: swimming sometimes


    Perhaps as I keep hitting the protein goal it will get easier to do! You have a good super power.

      That definitely seems like you are putting in enough work to make your body hungry enough so the issue can’t be there for reference I do

      4 days a week hour of resistance training split up into hip and core, knee and core, horizontal and vertical.

      2 hours a week of kick boxing which is pretty intense cardio

      10km a day cycle commute

      Plus some cycling or skateboarding as more of a hobby as and when I feel like rather than being regular.

      Maybe it is just a case of your body getting used to ingesting a lot more than maybe you were used to in the past. Sorry I can’t offer any more insights but I reckon in time your body will get more used to receiving and using that protein where it is needed and hopefully it’ll get easier for you as I’ve been eating like this for quite some time now.

      Good luck with your journey!
