Squat Workout & Protein Intake Without Meat or Shakes

So far today, I've had over 108 grams of protein without eating meat or having a shake...and we're only up to lunchtime. Just goes to show you that you don't need shakes or meat at every meal. Now don't get me wrong, I like meat, just am not eating that much these days for various reasons.

But the bottom line is that you can still get a lot of protein without meat if you want to build muscle. Of course, this is not a "vegan" diet, for that you might need to go the shake route...but as for shakes, let's be honest. They are gross and I don't need them. That's why I don't drink them. I've had enough of them in the past.

Alright, here's how I've gotten 108 grams of protein today before dinner and evening snack:

Breakfast: 2 tbsn peanut butter melted into bowl, with 2oz of pecans, plus coconut flakes, blueberries, and 2 small bananas = 13 grams of protein

Snack: 1 giant apple + 1 tbspn almond butter = 5g protein

"Brunch": 4 egg omelet with 1/2 cheese, spinach, broccoli, red onion, red pepper, salsa, wrapped in 2 whole wheat tortillas = 40 grams protein

Lunch: raw vegetables + 3 "banana tacos" (banana + blueberries + tbspn almond-hazelnut buttter wrapped in tortilla) + 500mL chocolate milk = 40 grams protein

So there you go. Going to a friends house for dinner tonight. Maybe I'll have meat, maybe I won't. Dunno. I do know that I don't have to have "protein guilt" because I haven't had any meat or worse, shakes.

Now for today's workout...
1A) Squats (worked up to 355)1B) Pullups (hit 15 reps)
2A) Front Squats2B) 1-Arm DB Shoulder Press

That was it.
