I'm working on a get-ripped diet. I lift weights 5 days of the week, exchanging on the group of muscles every day. Basically, I tried a super-high protein super-low carb diet. I ended up losing weight and muscle through this method. I only weigh 140 pounds, and I lost 10 pounds in about 3 weeks. So I got off the diet since this is NOT what I want. I decided that I'd change it to super-high protein, and whatever inbetween. Right now, I eat two cans of tuna a day, a can of chicken breast twice the amount of protein of the tuna, 4 eggs, and as much meat as I can get at my job (normally a lot), and 7 servings of 2% milk at least. At any rate, today, I got at least 213 grams of protein in my 140 lb body. I'm already pretty strong (I can bench my weight after 5 months of lifting weights.) Does this sound like enough protein to accomplish this goal? If not, what kinds of food should I add to the diet? Tuna is getting to be really sick-tasting and the chicken is expensive to buy. I am against whey protein and stuff like that since it can give you kidney stones. Any suggestions?
