What I eat in a day to get 140 grams of protein in under 1800 calories

Curious WHAT you eat to get so many grams of protein in? Let's find out!

One thing that helped me finally see progress on my weight-loss journey was adding 40 grams of protein to the already 100 I ate.... 100 grams was hard... how in the h*** was I supposed to get an additional 40?!?!

I've spent a few months perfecting my craft & I've got it down to a science!


Here's what I eat in a day to get 140 grams of protein in in under 1800 calories:


Breakfast (47 grams)

2 eggs (12g)

1 serving of egg whites (5g)

1/4 cup of cheese (6g)

Protein wrap (12g)

2 slices of turkey baco (12g)


Snack (26 grams)

Natural endurance chips (14g)

Chomps Turkey Stick (12g)


Lunch (30 grams)

Protein wrap (12g)

2 slices of turkey deli meat (12g)

1 tbsp of mayo

Slice of cheese (6g)

Lettuce/cucumber


Snack (20 grams)

Orgain shake (20g)


Dinner (24 grams)

Hamburger (20g)

Mashed Potatoes

Caesar Salad (4g)


47 + 26 + 30 + 20 + 24 = 147 (did I do my math right?!)


I can't stress enough how important protein is in your weight-loss journey!  Read all about the most under-used macronutrient!


Until next time,
