Hey guys,

To begin with, I hope this is the right section for this.

I'm looking for some info on making my own protein porridge, and whether it is worth it to increase my daily protein intake. I eat a mainly vegetarian diet, so I'm a bit worried that my protein intake can be a bit low (I do however eat eggs and fish).

I do an hour on the turbo trainer before work, and then have a half hour walk to work, so I get breakfast when I arrive.

I've started to eat porridge for my breakfast, and I'm also trying to shift the last 7 kilos I want to lose to hit around 59 kg.

Is putting some unflavored protein powder into porridge a good idea to boost my protein intake, and ensure it fills me up for longer?

Any other tips to increase protein intake?

Any help is appreciated :)
 
Damn, they look good! Thanks for that.

No added sweeteners too! I really try and avoid that crap now. I've lost about 18 kilos since April last year (slacked off a bit between September and December), and most of it is down to better eating, and no sugar/sweetener junk.

What's your current protein intake? What's your current weight? And what is your height? I'm guessing quite short if your target is 59kg.

I couldn't say for certain what my current intake is. It's probably more than I think it is, but perhaps around 60g on a good day (I supplement it with Eat Natural Protein bars that I want to reduce my intake of (10g protein per bar)) and probably less on a bad day.

I'm currently 66.5kg and I'm 5 foot 4.

On the subject of the porridge again, would it be fairly easy to just add protein powder to come normal porridge oats without buying anything fancy?

Sadly I'll be making my porridge at work so I'll only have a microwave. I don't like rushing off the bike and eating and then walking to work.

How much whey do you add to your oats? And what quantity of oats?
