Im trying to get to 150-200g of protein daily. I just don’t seem to get close even when being acutely aware of getting protein through the day, for example today I ate quinoa, lentils, tofu, a protein shake, broccoli, almonds — all in one day and I don’t even close only 100g.. please see the picture from below and help me see what I’m doing wrong or what I’m not doing right?

For working out, I just get protein powder and load it up in water. I’m talking 2-3x as much as you’re supposed to use. It’s not fun, but it’ll get 72 grams of protein in 30 seconds if you drink it quick.
Why in the world do you need 200g of protein? Im a petite woman about to run a half marathon next week and I’m happy to hit 50g a day. 100g should be fine unless you’re a large male bodybuilder
Overnight oats with protein powder, Greek yogurt as snacks (Oikos has a triple zero pro that is 20 grams per container), unsweetened Greek yogurt, protein shakes, adding tofu + beans to salads, using Banza pasta (chickpea or lentil pasta) + using silken tofu or cottage cheese as a sauce base in a blender, edamame (steamed or crispy). Up your protein shakes (protein powder + Fairlife high protein milk + green yogurt), and you can get 40-50 grams in one shake. Adding in more dense shakes with protein-heavy snacks can get you there.
No advice to offer, but what app are you using to track your food intake?
Eggs and egg whites, tofu, Greek yogurt, protein shakes/bars, plant based meat, TVP, beans/lentils
