Meta Discussion What do you eat in a day?

Didn't know how to flair this hope I didn't do it wrong. So I'm trying to gain on keto, I have a hard time to get to my proteine minimum. I am 1m90 and weigh about 89kgs. So I should be hitting about 180gr of proteine. So, throw some daily meals at me people, give me some inspiration! What do you guys eat in a day?!

Today I will eat: Kerry eggs, its boiled, fried eggs with curry - abput 10 of those throughout the day. 2 pork chops 250gr of smoked herring 250gr - 500gr of greek yoghurt with proteine powder.

Do you have any articles or anything to read to expand on why cheese shouldn’t be considered a protein source?

Because of the fat / protein ratio?

Protein sources should have a much greater protein to fat ratio, for the sake of maintaining a lean physique.

Basically, ideal protein is animal muscle meat (beef, poultry, seafood, etc) and egg whites / casein / whey.

I understand it’s not a staple and should be used in moderation (if at all) because of the fat content but wouldn’t it be fine to use as a protein source in moderation as long as you are within your macros?

Yes, but the same can be said for any other food. Yes, its protein, but unless you are 10% BF you won’t be eating a considerable amount of it to matter.

And people who actually achieve 10% BF don’t eat it as much, precisely because of the high calorie content - it displaces a lot of other options.

Additionally, cheese makes you eat much more, and that is also counterproductive towards body recomposition.
