For bodybuilders, strength athletes and even those who just want to increase muscle size, having a high protein diet can sometimes prove difficult and bland with endless cans of tuna and chicken breasts. Here Myprotein.com lays out The Big Protein Diet; 24 hours of high protein nutrition designed to feed your muscles everything they need to repair and regrow.
Breakfast
TOTAL BREAKFAST
Perhaps the best way to the start the day Total Breakfast has been specifically formulated to deliver all the critical nutrients you need to kick start your metabolism and restore glycogen levels for lean growth, recovery and energy. Each serving contains a highly bio-available protein blend, slow-burning carbohydrates, essential fatty acids to support lean growth and energy and colostrum for added vitamins and minerals. It also contains Chocamine® Plus which provides a stimulating supply of caffeine to get you fresh for the day ahead.

Lunch
POT ROAST
A beef chuck, shoulder pot roast cooked and trimmed free of fat provides about 31g of protein per 100g serving, according to the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory. And if that’s not enough protein try adding some high-protein vegetable such as peas with your pot roast. Serve baked potatoes topped with cheese to further increase the protein content of your meal.
Total Protein Content (per 100g) = 31 grams of protein
Afternoon Snack
BILTONG
Made to an age old South African recipe 100g of MP MAX Biltong provides a massive 39 grams of protein.

Dinner
PROTEIN SANDWICH
Made with eggs, turkey sausages, cheese and salad this is the ultimate high protein sandwich. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Data Laboratory, eggs provide about 6g of protein each, while one turkey sausage patty provides about 6g, whilst adding low-fat or part-skim cheese to your breakfast sandwich will further increase the protein content of your meal. So a sandwich containing 3 sausages and 2 eggs will provide over 30 grams of protein.
