The most chronically under-eaten macronutrient is definitely protein. And people often underestimate how much protein they eat.
The generally suggested benchmark for building muscle is one pound protein per pound of bodyweight per day.
So let’s say you weigh 200lbs, here’s what 200g of protein looks like:
2 medium-sized skinless chicken breasts 71g
2 scoops of whey protein 50g of protein
1 tin of chickpeas 17g of protein
1 pack of back bacon 35g of protein
1 Protein bar 21g of protein
That’s about +-194g of protein. I hope that gives a general idea of what a day of eating enough protein looks like.
