> Your 2 hardboiled eggs = about 12 grams of protein and a 6 oz grilled chicken breast = about 40 grams. This = a whopping 52 grams of protein. You are short about 150 grams of protein EVERYDAY. You need to eat 3 more chicken breasts and 3 or 4 more hard boiled egg whites EVERYDAY. DAILY Chicken total: 4-6oz (1.5#) breast (grilled) and 6 hard boiled eggs. WEEKLY CHICKEN TOTAL: 3.5 dozen eggs and 10.5 Pounds of chicken

Ive always tried to steer clear of supplements and get most of my nutritional needs from food. your body accepts carbs/proteins from food a little better than it does from supplementing. my $.02 is if you can afford the time/$ to eat right then thats what you should do. again…just my 2 pennies
