Whats your No1 source of Protein?

SIX PACK

Just wondering whats other peoples 1st choice protein is!!

Mine is tuna... (with Ocassionally a bit of mayo & sweetcorn.

William_Hicley

Its steak and chicken, like most people here I would imagine...

SIX PACK

Id have chicken about once every 2 week, not a huge fan of it unless its KFC

dinorebel

Tuna and Salmon.

PerrinV2

Steak or chicken at dinner time
tuna salad later on

itsallaboutheL

I imagine any sane person's first choice would be fillet steak.

I've developed a unique process that allows me to absorb protein directly thru my skin. I only have to brush against someone or something to leech all their aminos away.

Title infers it is what actually is you no.1 source, not no.1 choice if money was no object.

Mine is chicken, then beef & fish fairly equally.

Yes, however, Ambiguous post is open to interpretation

Mine is Tuna, I'm going to make an effort to cut back on it though as a main protein source.
I've been eating it for years - that whole Mercury in Tuna thing cant be good and a can a day is the most ill eat from now on.

Not really, otherwise the answer could only be whey considering its bv and its percentage of protein per 100g.....

on topic, I guess mince meat and eggs atm are my main sources of protein.

I get most of my protein from eggs and chicken though.

Magic Eight Ball

Can't believe no one has mentioned turkey. :eek:
For me it's turkey, salmon and eggs.

Sephiroth_dude

Esse85

Whey
Eggs

Soy beans or Tofu sometimes...but basically i seem to live on smoked salmon egg white (with one egg) omlettes and brocilli...yum!

squod

Eggs, burgers, dinner, whey, more eggs.

BossArky

That smoked salmon is laced in salt to perserve it. So id be cautious of how often i use that if i were you...

Whats your main source of protein, not fat.

Rycn

Boiled eggs.

Khannie

My main sources would be whey, yoghurt and beef.

Bazzo

Jaysus does nobody here eat beans? For me it'd have to be beans, chicken and beef(usually mince).

Dammit. I remember worrying about that once...lasted about a week...then I decided to live in blissful ignorance...knowing one day, it would come back to haunt me! Youre right though. Time to curb the smoked salmon intake once and for all. Thanks!:o

Takeshi_Kovacs

Chicken and milk at the moment, but my diet is not great currently (still not eating enough in the day). Gonna try and add more eggs and steak to the mix

richieramirez

whey
eggs
tuna
milk
peanut butter

Dotcomdolly

I thought of a rude answer :D

Parsley

chicken, eggs, milk and fatty minced beef are my most convenient sources, as a student...

just asking, but is that a concern for anyone who is training and is generally on a low crap diet where most salt is added anyway?

The cooked flesh of any number of deceased animals.

I just today had the epiphany that is canned tuna steak. Two 200g cans for 4 euro (probably cheaper in other places) to get ~110g of protein nearly anywhere, anytime. Such win.

Pork Sausages

I'd definitely be happy to get all of my nutritional requirements in shake format if it was possible and good for me.

I don't not like eating, but I wouldn't miss it. A nice meal a few times a week would be cool tho.

I bet gram for gram, whey would be cheaper.

Just on that thought,how much tuna do people here normally consume within the week?

2-3 of the big tins, i get sick of it very easily.

PerrinV2

I'd be to 2-3 too,just got a little unsettled after reading the link on the mercury content

Bazzo

Dislike all fish tbh. I know, I know, good for me etc. etc.

But honestly I've tried it again and again(the most recent time being a couple of months ago when my sister and ma talked me into it) and I really, REALLY just honestly dislike the taste of all fish I've tried(quite a selection).

dartstothesea

Lame. Just when I thought tuna was going to make life a hundred times easier. Anyone safely consuming more than a couple of cans a week?

Try Salmon. Doesn't taste "fishy" or like any other type of fish.

Salmon tastes very neutral alright. I like that.

One of the lads has been raving about grilled mackrel with lemon and pepper.

Still need to get some calories into you though and whey isn't great for that....
