I will say I can eat a lot. I spread my meals out during the day. I weigh my protein powder out to at least 30 grams a shake. I was surprised that when I actually weighed out each scoop it was not what the label claimed a scoop totaled.
To help with costs, I have started to buy protein in bulk. I get 15 pounds of protein for about $115. Usually lasts me 5-6 months.
Now I typically don't follow my diet during the weekend, so my numbers are off Saturday and Sunday. But Monday through Friday I'm dialed in.

Wow so 2-3 shakes a day.... I guess that's a solid 90 grams right there. But even those shakes are quite filling. I think that's become one of my problems... I can't eat like I used to be able to in my 20s.
