I count my meat and shakes and make sure its over 200g per day. I dont count anything else like oatmeal, breads and pastas. I probably eat close to 300g of protein per dayand I weigh 193lbs.
there are "complete" protein sourses i.e. meat, whey, dairy,eggs, and there are "incomplete" protein sources, i.e. everything else with protein. These proteins do nothing for muscle building.
