A little history, I've peaked at 71 kg's from weight lifting in the past but it took 9 mths while to reach that weight hitting the gym 3x a week. Without regular weight exercise and protein intake it will drop to 63-64ish.

I'm currently on 20 eggs diet. (just started 1week, was also my previous diet at 10+ eggs)

current weight 66kg

20eggs = 120 grams of protein (Alternative canned tuna but it's a pain preparing and i dont really like tuna)

I need advice on alternative cheap protein (can't take whey very lactose intolerant)| And foods to increase my calories intake.

I'm hovering on 1.8k-2k calories a day is that enough? If it's not what are easy cheap ways of increasing my calorie intake.

Forgot to add i've Esophagitis, so i cant just overeat.

If you're not gaining weight, then it's not enough.

Whey isolate has very minimal lactose.

There's also chicken breast, which is very easy and quick to prepare.

Wtf?? Seriously 20 eggs in ur diet? Are you trolling or what? There's better way rather than eggs such as chicken, salmon, beans, and those basic foods. Please don't just depends on your eggs cause you won't gain weight or build muscle if you don't watch ur macros.

Oh and for me that's just ur excuses. Just eat more and more.

lol 20 eggs

satay, salmon, fish, steak, dimsum

these are tasty food that is high in proteins that i dont mind eating everyday

why limit yourself to only eggs, unless you're tight on budget

I'm eating normally rice, vege, chicken etc outside food. The eggs are my protein supplements cos i cant take whey.

and lots of body builders. All your chicken etc, preparation time is long. I've got no time boiling eggs and peeling can be done in 15-20mins.

Lol i can steam 500g of chicken breast in 10mins .

Lmao u better look at what he said. Lots of bullshit and excuses

I don't see what's the deal about choosing eggs over other sources if that's what he likes. I personally take eggs myself over chicken as I simply do not have the time to prepare enough chicken for the entire day.

TS, if you aren't growing, as per what Dan said, you're not eating enough. Find out your TDEE and plan your macros accordingly.

regardless of what you eat, scale ain't moving, calories ain't enough
