How to get 50g of Protein per meal

Updated: Nov 4, 2022

Sounds hard, so let us break it down.



Personally, being a carnivore, I love mixing and matching protein sources to get to my 50 grams. Example: Steak with some slices of cheese or an egg. Bam, ya done.


Chicken


  • Chicken meat, cooked (4 ounces): 35 grams protein

  • Turkey breast, roasted (4 ounces): 34 grams protein

  • Chicken thigh (average size): 10 grams protein

  • Chicken drumstick: 11 grams protein

  • Chicken wing: 6 grams protein

  • Grilled chicken breast (3 to 4 ounces): 30 grams protein

Beef


  • Hamburger patty (4 ounces or 1/4 pound): 28 grams protein

  • Steak (6 ounces): 42 grams protein



Pork


  • Pork chop (average size): 22 grams of protein

  • Pork loin or tenderloin (4 ounces): 29 grams protein

  • Ham (3 ounces): 19 grams protein

  • Canadian-style bacon (1 slice): 5 to 6 grams protein

  • Bacon (7 slices): 30 grams of protein


Cheese


  • Milk (1 cup): 8 grams protein

  • Yogurt (1 cup): usually 8 to 12 grams protein (check label)

  • Mozzarella cheese (1 ounce): 6 grams protein

  • Cheddar or Swiss cheese (1 ounce): 7 or 8 grams protein

  • Parmesan cheese (1 ounce): 10 grams protein

Eggs

  • One egg has 6 grams of protein


Fish/Seafood


  • Shrimp (3 ounces): 18 grams protein

  • Salmon (3 ounces): 17 grams protein



Notes:

Don’t eat "breakfast foods" for breakfast. Almost ALL Breakfast foods are complete garbage. Make extra food at dinner for breakfast in the morning.
