How do you eat/hit your protein goals every day? (hackertalks.com)

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?

I assume you're hungry enough to want more than the 600 calories you would find in 150 grams of protein.

If this is the case, I'd assume you'd need to focus on food that is more dense in protein relative to other macro nutrients.

If not, I'm not sure how I could help you out with advice. I think I could probably easily scarf down 3000 calories a day, to the great displeasure of my body. Luckily I love to exercise which generally keeps things in check

My health plan is strict keto, so I don't really get hungry. I just hit my protein target and stop.

I mostly eat fatty ground beef mixed with liver and some eggs, lately. The good news is I'm really full. Every day I get about 70g of protein, I struggle to eat enough to hit my 150g goal.

Drop some of the fat then if you want to hit that protein goal.

Try moving to some leaner cut of beef, or maybe something like chicken breast, and see what happens.
