I've noticed that when I eat foods high in protein, they seem to "sit" with me longer and it takes longer for me to get hungry again, which is great on a low-calorie diet. I gravitate to protein like grilled chicken, baked fish, and peanuts. I also weightlift about four times a week.

I calorie-count, so I thought about experimenting for a few days and eating about 90% protein, maybe take a multi-vitamin daily. The extra protein will be great for my muscle repair, and it should keep my hunger at bay better than some things I eat (like bread, pasta, or vegetables). The problem is, I have to eat out sometimes, as I work far from home, and it's going to be hard to find pure protein to eat, especially when you need to know the calorie count.

If anyone has any suggestions for places to get high-protein meals out and about, let me know.

When i absolutely MUST eat fast food (i.e. on a road trip) and i'm trying to eat no carbs, i'll get a giant hot dog from 7-eleven without the bun. Not very healthy but at least you know it has almost no carbs; and unlike burgers, it's easy to get rid of the bun (burgers would be a little more messy)

Yes indeed protein and fat tend to be more satiating.

As an added bonus protein takes more energy to digest.

Just be warned - you want to make sure you get enough fiber and water on a high protein diet.

90%

I consider my diet high protein. I get 120 to 140 grams per day, on my 1200-1600 calorie a day diet it comes to about 40% depending. I've found this ratio to suit me well, after quite a bit of adjustments over the past 11 weeks.

If you're talking fast food, burgers with no buns or grilled chicken with no bun, I guess would be a decent option. If you're talking restaurants, it would be much easier. Although with fast food, idk how realistic 90% would be considering how much fat is in everything.

If you try 90%, do post! I'd be very interested to see how it goes!
