I’ve been trying to hit 150 to 170 g of protein a day and really struggle with it, especially while trying to stay in a calorie deficit. Does anyone have any low calorie high protein suggestions or quick easy ways to get protein in?

Oh how I feel you on this one!!! Try to avoid over processed protein overload (which I know is hard because hitting the goal is hard itself) but that being said a processed protein snack or meal isn’t going to kill you. Try getting foods like cottage cheese, low fat yogurt that’s high in protein, & the occasional protein shake. definitely try to hit your protein goal, but if it’s just making you feel sick and it feels so impossible just try to hit near that goal. :) when I originally was aiming to hit one myself I just ate a bunch of processed crap and I felt horrible & inflamed/bloated but I’ve realized that if you focus on foods like chicken and cottage cheese and with consistent meal cycle meaning the same or similar meals every day, it’s not impossible!! if you meal prep, it is a lot easier, but don’t force yourself to eat foods that just gross you out at the same time.
