high protein food help

[Ryno33]

So I figured I need at least 280 grams of protein a day and im struggling to get my head around how im going to get that much so I was hoping you guys would be able to give me a basic idea of foods in there weight with the amount of protein in them eg. 200g of chicken breast = 30g of protein (pure made up example lol).

I really want to nail my dieting on the head and this would help alot

Cheers guys!

185g tuna, 35g protein. yum yum

whats your weight ? bodyfat ? how did you come to 280g ?

[PeterDolan]

As a general rule, 100g meat = 20g protein approx. This can be influenced by fat content, the more fat, the less protein

sorry went back and did my homework a bit more, i should be getting 200grams of protein.

my stats are:

90kg

height = 68 inches

lean body mass kg = high 60s

need atleast 180g to 200g of protein a day

200g divvided between how many meals per day u plan on eating

at least 5

so 40g per meal

If you go to Resources > Useful Links, you'll find a number of online food databases, including a NZ one.
