lol, its not really that hard I'm eating 60g per meal and I started eating at 9:30am this morning, so I'm at 120g already another 60g @ 1:30p (protein shake) than workout around 2:15 and post workout I'll drink 2 Extreme Whey Protein Drinks (70g) and than drive to work sitting on 250g of protein already. Here is something that another bb does and has good results with:
Well thru trial and error I use Optimum pro complex due to its varied proteins(55gram serving) and 5 grams of glutamine (not glutamic acid)per serving(THATS A HUGE REASON FOR ME)--i pay 38 bucks for 4.4lbs on the net (with no shipping cuz i buy over 200 bucks worth)--yes i go thru a bucket every 5 to 6 days, but not having to buy glutamine separately and getting in 20-30grams each day of it makes me smile. The protein powder is the most expensive thing in my diet everything else is pretty cheap.
A sample (truthfull) day for me is (with protein grams after each item)
breakfast: oatmeal(5) with soy grits and ground flaxseeds on top (23) a little bit of milk(2) in the oatmeal and a protein drink (55)=85grams
afterworkout snack-two potatoes(7) and a double serving protein drink in cranberry grape juice (110) =117grams
lunch (quick one cuz of my work)-can of ravioli (11) and protein drink(65) (cup of water cup of milk in there) =76grams
snack--two 99cent bigmacs(54) and 2 cups of milk (20)=74 grams (hey I could lie and say a turkey on wheat but im being truthfull here)
dinner -1lb of hamburger (100) cooked drained and then washed off with water thoroughly (to remove as much fat as possible)with condiments and noodles (4) =104grams
I keep reasonably lean by taking in zero to trace amounts of carbs (found in vegetables) after 6-7pm
nitetime meal-six eggwhite omelet with peppers or peas(20) or roast beef cold cuts with half water-half milk protein drink (65) =85 grams
Thats 541 protein grams on average and with me usually eating larger portions than measured I probaly venture toward 600 grams alot. If you look at the food I eat its pretty cheap, specially the way I buy it in bulk.
The results that these guuys say they are getting with high amounts are protein are unreal so I figure I have to give it a try.

This year was 450g per day. This is whether I am bulking or cutting. I baseline my protein and fat at the begging of the year and keep it the same all the way through my shows at the end of the year. The ONLY thing that changes is the amount of carbs (and type of carbs, of course) and the amount of cardio.
