Getting enough protein

[Captain China]

I feel like I'm not getting enough protein daily eating whole foods. I use whey protein, but it seems like I have to load up on supplements in order to get my daily ~140 grams of protein. Can anyone recommend me some high protein foods? And for people who are able to fit in 140+ grams of protein a day, can you give me a list of what you usually eat through out the day? Thanks in advance.

Chicken, Eggs, Beef, Milk seriously its not THAT hard.

Milk, eggs and tuna are probably the cheapest, lb for lb. If you are having trouble eating that much, milk is probably the best way to go. It's easy to drink a lot of that.

Is it healthy to eat eggs every day?

Also, I read somewhere that if you drink too much whey powder that its bad for your liver. Any truth to this?

I wouldn't worry about the eggs... drinking too much milk can do nasty things to your gut. Eggs are a great source of protein, if you're concerned about the cholesterol than just eat the whites. I like to buy a lot of sausauge, sausage can be cheap... and beans, there are some really good chili recipes floating around the internet... I make this white bean and chicken chili that is super filling and probably has about 25-30g of protein and 60-70g of carbs per serving (serving size probably about 3 cups). Honestly, I found it was much easier to get my daily value when I started cooking at home. Buying in bulk helps, too.

BTW, I get 250g of protein. 150g of that total is by way of shake...

If you're not accustomed to it yes. Mid bulk I am often drinking close to 2 liters of milk a day. I know people who drink more than that.

During my sport season I'll drink 2-3 bags of milk a day sometimes. I never have a problem with it.

I drink almost 1/2 gallon of milk per day. That's 64g of protein right there. Throw in the various nuts, meats, and protein containing vegetables and I probably get at least 120g of protein per day. Add in a protein shake or two (I usually use 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder) and that easily gets me to right around 200g per day.

Breakfast was a cup of cottage cheese (26g), with a tablespoon of peanut butter (4g) and lunch is a 8oz chicken breast and green beans (71g, 4g). That is only 2 very small meals and 105g of protein. 140g is nothing.
