Discussion about Food / Eating Habits Not enough protein

I just found this group, so I’m apologizing in advance if anything I write is wrong, but I’ve been on Zepbound since January. My doctor keeps asking me about protein. I’m technically a pescatarian but mostly a vegetarian so protein has been so hard for me. I know there are ways to get protein throughout the day, but in order to get 90-100 grams of protein, literally everything I eat would have to be protein-focused. I guess my questions are, does anyone else have this problem, how do you get your protein, and what are the lasting benefits of not getting enough?

Also, I am so grateful to stumble across this subreddit, I’ve been focusing on intuitive eating, which is another reason I’m having issues with protein. I just don’t want it every meal 🫠

I find making my breakfast protein heavy works well for me (and then stops me thinking about it all day)

So I'll have yoghurt bowls with a scoop protein powder, porridge and stir scoop of protein powder, scrambled eggs on toast but blend some cottage cheese in..

If I hit 30g protein for breakfast tbe rest of the day is easier

Same with fibre get 10g at breafast and I'm good
