Tuna is like... pure protein.

Sometimes I'll eat it right from the can \o'

Honestly the biggest ones that helped me eggs peanut butter and greek yogurt.

When I would bulk, which i should probably start making them again I would have a post workout shake. half whole milk, half chocolate milk, 30 grams of whey usually choc or van flavor, 3 eggs (18g's) and then 2 table spoons of peanut butter. Oh and a cup of oatmeal so thats another 17 i think with those. 60 grams of protein all from different sources, good carbs, some fast acting sugars to get your insulin up and recover going and some nice fats in there.

I really need to start making these again. and a tuna sammich does sound good. Nice tuna melt

Honestly, this is a little excessive.  I mean, it can't hurt you and I support all these food choices, especially post workout...but it's just wasting money.  You are pissing out likely nearly half of that protein.  I think you would have same results if you cut all of that in half.  And save money while doing it

And whole there may be a few good carbs in the milk, new studies are showing that carbs with a high glycemic index are best in the post workout window(white potatoes, white rice, etc)


But I too consume all these.  And one gram per pound of body weight is ideal like you say.  My diet has went to shit the past two months Tho.  Normally my average day looks like this

Morning

Cup of oatmeal and blueberries with a glass of 1% milk

OR

3 eggs, slice of toasted quinoa bread and glass of 1% milk

For my second meal I like my smoothie:

Half a scoop of high quality isolate protein, creatine, cup of milk, bananas, 1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter

Lunch

Chicken(roughly 30 to 35 grams of protein in my servings), small amount of yams or turnips or sweet potatoes, and a heaping serving of steamed veggies

Meal 4

Tuna or big serving of Greek yogurt, possibly some fruit to snack on or handful of almonds.  Maybe some hard boiled eggs

Meal 5

Fish, chicken or steak.  More steamed veggies.  Yams, turnips or sweet potatoes.  Spaghetti squash with a thick meaty sauce is a great choice too.  Big portion. My meals are never carb dense

Meal 6

I usually end the day with some Greek yogurt, whole milk and a combo protein supplement in a smoothie.  The milk helps it absorb slower while im sleeping

Of course this isn't strict and just a rough idea.  And I sneak some fruit and sometimes meat snacks in there

I'm definitely not eating like this right now and it shows

While I said I agree with 1gram of protein per pound of body weight, I was trying to say that having 60 grams of protein in one serving is a waste.  Mainly, waste of money.  You could use half of everything in your smoothie and get same results/benefits


But your saying you need 60 gram protein servings?  Fair enough. I find it hard to believe that not much of that is waste(30 grams a serving should suffice), but each body is different I suppose


The sugar and other crap in chocolate milk, while not terrible, aren't the best

The fast acting sugars in fruit, for example, aren't considered ideal anymore.  White potatoes, white rice, etc, are considered the best

But I'm a sucker for chocolate milk too
