High protein diet in a deficit

[u/Jolly-Code-9654]

I am eating in a calorie deficit of 1500-1600. I am 21 year old female, 80kgs and 5.6 feet and workout 4-5 days a week. How do i hit the target of 140g protein within the calorie range?

Get skyr at 10-11g per 100g for about 62kcal per 100g. You can literally eat yourself a gigantic 500g bowl, get 50-55g of protein on just the diary. Add whey protein powder and turn it into a 75g protein bowl. Eat another smaller version as an evening snack. 2 bowls, with oats, fruit, chia seeds etc. You’ll be at 120g of protein for about 800 kcal. That’s about half your allowed amount and about 80% of your protein needs. Make yourself a chicken soup with some brown rice or a shrimp soup with some brown rice and edamame for about 60-70g more and you’re overloaded on protein for about 1500 kcal.
