I'm on a program right now where I'm supposed to eat 150 plus grams of protein everyday.

It's unreasonably difficult to eat enough protein to hit the target. I get full and stuffed, I don't want to eat anymore, I still have like half the protein to go.

For people who are eating their target protein levels, how do you do it? How do you keep it palatable? How do you prevent satiety from stopping you?

My health plan is strict keto, so I don't really get hungry. I just hit my protein target and stop.

I mostly eat fatty ground beef mixed with liver and some eggs, lately. The good news is I'm really full. Every day I get about 70g of protein, I struggle to eat enough to hit my 150g goal.

Drop some of the fat then if you want to hit that protein goal.

Try moving to some leaner cut of beef, or maybe something like chicken breast, and see what happens.
