Stats: 24 years old, 5 ft 2, 200 pounds
Lately I have really been trying to focus on eating more protein. I lift weights 4x a week and do cardio as well. I want to get more protein in to keep myself full, lose more weight and possibly gain some muscle.
My problem is - my daily calories are about 1300 a day. I am a short woman. Lately I get about 60-80g of protein but really struggle to get more than like 80- 100g while still staying in my deficit.
I eat meat and protein shakes and dairy but it really feels like If I want to get more than 100g of protein a day and stay under my calories, Im going to have to scarf meat down all day lol.
Just curious what others think. We have all heard the rule "take your weight and that's how many grams of protein you should eat a day". But 200g of protein seems insane to me. I'm sure this rule is more geared towards those bulking and not cutting perhaps. Idk.
