Hitting my protein macros is always hard. I usually include at least 1 Oikos Protein(30 G protein) shake after my post CJC/Ipa fast ends before I leave for work. Breakfast is 8 oz full fat Greek yogurt(Fage or Cabot, sometimes store brand), 8 oz frozen blueberries, and 2 stevia packets sprinkled on top. That is about 26-30 grams of protein.
I eat tons of ground turkey, either seasoned with curry powders or chili/taco seasoning. 8 oz is about 25 grams of protein. I get tired of this, so I occasionally beg my bride to make turkey burgers. Note: Somehow, adding rice to the ground turkey helps me eat more of it.
We also eat a fair amount of hamburgers as I don’t get tired of hamburgers.
For the rest, it is mostly going to lunch shops and trying to find a protein forward meal - which isn’t easy. I need to do more meal prep. My wife just made pulled chicken, which was really good. I have made it before but it was always dry. I will be adding this in as you can make a bunch and season on demand.
@ResearchCat I also struggle with getting my protein in. I can't eat eggs or dairy so that throws a wrench into things as well.
Don't do chicken breats, use thighs. Much better and won't dry out as easily as the breasts.

@ResearchCat I used to use mayo to keep chicken moist. Next time I cook chicken breast I'm going to try greek yogurt and see if that does the same thing.

@shaqdiesel Yep, 100% thighs are our favorites. For slow cooking, you can combine them but we prefer thighs.
@beekind I’ve seen a number of recipes for dips and other things that substitute full fat Greek yogurt for sour cream, mayo, or other stuff.I don’t know why it never occurred to me to try that on my own.

Be careful if you cook yogurt in a dish, casserole, etc. It does not keep for very long. Eat same day. It's why I don't put it in my Indian recipes that I think might have leftovers (rare).
Proud to be on a gubmint watch list

I use Greek yogurt in everything. Anything I need creamy. Never had an issue with leftovers when using it. You shouldn't cook with it. I always add it to the dish after the dish is cooked and off the heat. Its been my cheat code.

I don't do that with Indian recipes.

Cant speak to Indian recipes. Never had an issue with anything I have cooked. Figured it was worth mentioning.

Our favorite meal at the moment is:
1 sweet onion
2 bellpeppers
1 carrot
Sauté in a little bit of olive oil
Add 2lb of ground beef
A light sprinkle of jasmine rice
Cover mixture with bone broth or water, lid on
Simmer and when water absorbs, it’s ready.
Add a lot of dill(frozen or fresh)
Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.Yumm!

You should cook however you want. I've just found if there's leftovers of any kind, the yogurt, if put in the dish when it's warm, curdles the next day.Have fun with it!
