How I Eat At Least 120g Protein Every Day

In the fitness world, 120 grams of protein seems like a low amount for most people…

But in the real world, I’ve talked with people who barely hit the medical recommended dietary allowance to avoid a protein deficiency.

For context, the fitness industry standard is 1g per pound of bodyweight and the medical RDA is 0.8g per kg of body weight.

So in the case of a 250 pound individual:

• The fitness industry suggests 250g daily
• The medical RDA would 91g daily

Which is why I tend to suggest at least 120g daily for most people, but of course this always depends on the individual.

Either way…

There are a handful of foods I eat every day to make hitting this protein goal super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I usually start off my day with 3 eggs, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, and some kind of toast (ideally sourdough).

That’s somewhere between 32g and 38g protein depending on the bread.

For lunch, it’s a free-for-all lately but even if I order something out I’ll get at least 25g here.
