Protein Foods - Protein shakes, protein waffles, protein yogurt, protein bars etc.

Eggs
Cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
Tuna

Canned tuna especially is a crazy efficient protein source. You're looking at 20 grams per 100 calories. That ratio is nuts.

Sardines are the real fish protein super food. Less mercury than tuna so you can eat more often, great protein, and in my opinion, they are great alone. They also have more Omega-3s than tuna as well. DEENS supremacy

"Protein" versions of foods that are not supposed to have any anger me, they're just shoving whey and soy powder in the formulation and turning it to chalk.

I get the sentiment for sure. I use "processed protein foods" as a way to break up monotony. I usually buy 10lb protein powder bags but sometimes I get sick of the same bland taste. I typically get protein chips since I dont tend to keep snacks in the house. Thing is whey powder is always the cheapest way of getting protein. The chips have a huge price premium, but ill actually eat them.

My spouse brought home protein strawberry cheerios. I don't eat cereal or much of anything that isn't from scratch but I was curious enough to try some. They taste like a worse version of strawberry cheerios.

Completely understand the sentiment, but as always the main targeted demographic isn't the clean gym rat with written down macros that wants a break from the daily rice and chicken, but the average (FAT) person, usually women, who convince themselves they can eat chocolate to lose weight because it has them proteins and shit.
I've seen essentially ricotta powder for sale recently, marketed as high protein low fat substitute for shredded cheese in pasta and such, and tastes great. But it's overpriced to hell for being just whey byproduct with the processing cut short.

chugging a protein shake (some basic chocolate/vanilla, and in milk you animals).

That's the worst possible way to do it. Whey powder doesn't dissolve in milk for shit, so you end up trying to swallow a bunch of partially dry lumps just floating around.

I make a multigrain type rice where I have different kinds of grains and beans instead of just rice. I think it tastes better and it's great to sneak in a little extra protein.

It's pretty on brand that the first person to introduce me to protein chips was a fatty who was on a perpetual diet.

Welcome to "high protein" whey dusted foods. Are the chips I get, tasty? No, but they help me hit my macros and satisfy the salt cravings.

I have a shaker with the metal wire ball. Pour milk til it just covers the ball, then 40-45g scoop domed over to say 55g, which is 30g protein + 10g fiber + 5g creatine.

Half dozen vigorous shakes to break everything up, put away protein tub while it settles, half dozen shakes to fully mix, down it in one pull at uniform milkshake consistency.

If you have money to spend on overpriced shitass poptarts, just buy biltong. Even nice grass-fed brands like Brooklyn are 6g/$, compared to 6.5g/$ for those poptarts. Major difference being biltong is 18g/100cal compared to 11g/100cal. And if you've never had biltong, its 100x better than beef jerky. Definitely recommend Brooklyn Biltong (Naked flavor) if you want to try, pairs great with mozzarella slices (more protein).

Besides that, I just snack on hard-boiled eggs made with an electric egg cooker, which makes it so easy even a retard like myself can make a dozen+ a week with 0 effort. I also like bone broth, but there's a lot of debate about amino profile depending on what you're looking for.

peanut butter

Butter of peanut really is high in protein.

Also can protein in beans rival that of meat?

For me it's anchovies and mackerel.

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

I don't know how you don't just hit your protein goal by eating normally. I never had to seek out supplementary protein.
Though I do enjoy some of the shitty protein bar. The ones that are just giant taffy or a whole bar of peanuts are nice.

This reminds me of my new favorite death cow, Anna o' Brien, spazzing out about protein chips in a Target:

SaveTube.io-Chaotic Target Run Vlog_ Come Shop With Me in Store-(480p).mp4

The protein chip part starts at about 8:20. If you don't wanna watch, she, at 600+ lbs, grabs a bunch of multipack bags of protein chips, flails her arms around at finding a specific flavor she likes, and says, "sorry, I get excited about protein chips. This is who I am as a person now."


On topic, I find most protein-enriced foods, especially ones that are versions of junk foods, to be kinda gross. Usually I get enough protein in my regular diet and work more to lower my carb intake. Sometimes I buy tofu stew kits from the local Asian grocery store, if I want something relatively low-calorie (especially for how filling it is) and high protein.

 

[DrearyDoomguy]

I always found Complete Cookies tolerable. The fact that they don't have any soy products in them is a nice bonus. Some of the quest bars are decent enough but most of the protein heavy ones are chewy as all hell and I would not recommend them for anyone with jaw issues. I had TMJ inflammation at one point and they were totally inedible until it subsided.

The GOAT of protein rich junk food is and always will be pork rinds.

 

[Nyah_nyah_boo_boo]

I prefer the Krusteez version of protein pancake mix, has a bit more flavor than the Kodiak. I cannot stand most of the frankenfoods on offer though.

 

[RussianBlonde]

Ive tried few protein things and to me they are the same as vegan meat equivalents. So basically they taste like ass.

There is one thing however I enjoy and make few times a week for breakfast.
I buy these vanilla protein puddings



And will add some whole grain flour, one egg, some baking powder and make pancakes. And they actually taste pretty decent and are quick to make.

 

[CryptoHermit]

Tinned fish is a good way to go. My lunch was tinned tuna with crackers and olive oil. 24 g of Protein and under 110 calories.

 

[deermeat]

a box of Legendary Foods protein pastries,

These taste better than actual Poptarts so the fact they don't taste like them is a good thing.

I also recommend the Fairlife Core Power protein shakes

These are so good, man. Not worth buying all the time though.

Honestly with protein-enriched foods, it's better to buy them as a snack than eating junk food because at least you get protein. Wanna buy chocolate Milk? By this stuff instead, although I will say Shamrock Farms tastes better, albeit its not kosher.



This one used to be my favorite.

Start em' young and give your kids this stuff instead of candy and all that, take them to the gym, have them get a head start before everyone. Little Timmys gonna be swole by the time he is 10. That's what I'd do. We didn't have this variety when I was younger.

 

[Dean Pentel]

I've been trying to get more protein so I've been making Kodiak protein waffles every day for breakfast.

These aren't bad at all. I prefer eggs, meat, and a bit of fruit for breakfast but I do keep some mix around if I want something a bit different.

That's the worst possible way to do it. Whey powder doesn't dissolve in milk for shit, so you end up trying to swallow a bunch of partially dry lumps just floating around.

Unless you have to mix it your shakes outside the house, use an immersion blender. That's what I do and it's far superior to any other method I used previously.

For me it's anchovies and mackerel.

I bet if one needs a quick meal/snack these on a little bit of rice with some seasoning would be excellent.

I'm curious about this. Please share the dry ingredient amounts you're using.

Depends on your size activity and goals. I'm at 230g daily and still use whole food sources but it's not exactly convenient
