Four months ago I was unhappy with how I looked and decided I needed to change.

I've been intermittent fasting and exercising and dropped about 10kg, so I'm down to about 70kg.

Now I'm looking at building muscle, but I almost certainly don't get enough protein. When I looked up how much I should be eating, it's about 1.6g per kilo, or for me about 115g.

I've been drinking a meal replacement shake for lunch which is advertised high in protein at about 14g, then eating a reasonably low fat dinner which is definitely not 100g of protein.

I need to get more in, but I just don't know how, and looking online it's lots of specific recipes but I'll end up cooking 3 dinners a day for family which is a lot.

I'm looking at that Surreal cereal which is 15g a serving, which if paired with a protein shake I can bump up to about 35, but I'm still a way out.

How can I bump up the intake relatively easily?

Dude! 750g of cottage cheese every day is some serious dedication.

I eat 3 bowls of 250g each, one for breakfast and two between meals.

I don't do it for the fun of it, it's a strictly functional affair
