More Protein, Please???
Just when I was about to give up on this mass building plan, my friend sends me a new training program and notes that I need to "raise my protein index". I already feel like I have protein oozing out of my pores and that my kidneys will rebel at any given moment. I am not much of a fan of chicken and I don’t eat pork or beef. I drink 2 protein shakes per day, eat four egg whites, 4 to 6 oz fish (lunch), 4 to 6 oz fish (dinner), and could probably add 1/2 cup lentils or black beans to one of my meals, unless any of you have a better suggestions.
The weight training du jour primarily consist of compound moves w/o the "foo foo" isolation moves (his words, not mine). I will shoot for five to ten pounds more weight with eight to ten reps, this should be doable.
Last week’s training was somewhat crappy due time constraints and a head cold, but I did get three days in. The semester started so I’m back to work full swing and will have to juggle training around my work schedule, the kids’ school and extra curricular activity schedule and my social calendar (oh, I forgot–I don’t have one).
It’s homework time!

Beans, beans, and more beans. Eat a whole can as a meal. Tons of fiber, fiber is hard to get, and lots of protein.

I had a similar situation with just not getting enough protein. I thought I would explode if I ate anymore. I added 2 things…
1. Hard boiled egg whites (6) each morning
2. A can of tuna in the afternoon. I drop it in a rubbermaid container in the morning with a healthy squirt of lime juice, a sprinkle of red pepper and some dill. By 2ish it is an okay snack with a lot of protein. It is a bit dry so plenty of water to wash it down.
