I get 130 - 200 depending on goals/alloted calories

This got me 141 g protein in under 1200 calories the other day:

Coffee: Collagen in it.
Brekkie: Nonfat greek yogurt with protein powder mixed in and .25 cup oats. (Oats have 3:1:4.5 P:F:C ratio)
Lunch: Chicken deli meat and spinach (Spinach has 1:1 P:C ratio and I eat about 3-6 cups a day) n a jospeh's flax/oat/bran pita/spinach (pita is 6 g P, 1 g F, 9 g C)
Snack: Pure Protein bar (more protein than carbs, low fat compared to most on market, affordable, and available at Walmart)
Dinner: Turkey sausage and pinto beans

Also remember that nuts are not a protein source. They are fat source that happens to have some protein.

you asked for a day of eating, and I'm weird AF, but here it is. I'm 5'10" 215 fwiw.

breakfast: 2 servings Oikos Triple Zero vanilla with 2 servings of Catalina Crunch Cinnamon Toast Cereal (440 calories, like 50g protein)

Lunch: Going crazy here, going out. Panda Express: Super greens, 2x Black Pepper Sirloin, (roughly 510 calories and 50g protein)

Snack at work: Can of no salt added mixed veggies (150 calories like 8-10 g protein)

Pre workout meal: Banana, Legendary Foods Cinnamon Roll (330 calories, 20g protein)

Supper:12-16 Oz of sirloin, Medium sweet potato (plain) 750 calories 70g protein

Right before bed: 2 Keto Hamburger buns, just the buns. 120 calories, 12g protein.

I'm cutting right now, so like 2500 calories (I don't really count) and around 200g protein, but this is what I ate yesterday. I think the calories listed are lower than what I estimate the day for, but usually you estimate low since every food label is an "at least" . I enjoy pretty much every meal but that can of veggies. And the super greens on the panda meal (notice a trend...lol).
