A quick search of the internet and you'll see an abundance of people recommending that when building muscle you should be aiming for 1 1.5 times your body weight in lbs.
Let's take the middle 1.25 and times that by my body weight (150lbs x 1.25) = 187.5lbs of protein per day.
I was wondering what are some good, effective foods to help reach that goal throughout the day?
For example, a tin of tuna = 27g of protein. So for examples sake, if I just sticking to tuna (which I'm not) I would need 7 tins a day which not only could I not afford, but probably couldn't manage to eat as well.
Any help on which foods / meals that are good to get your protein in will be appreciated.
Thanks.
