I started out the off-season not really focusing on the amount of protein...I was in the 300 grams a day and my training felt okay...then, I increased it to just over 400 grams per day...here's my daily routine:

Early Am - when I awake:

Shake 50gram w/ water or just started to mix with egg whites...taste really good that way. 

Morning - My breakfast with the kids

12 oz 100% egg whites 40gram (I get this stuff by the gallons for cheap)

Later morning:

Shake 50g

Lunch:

Double meat subway sand. or other equivalent around 40-50g

Mid afternoon:

More egg whites and some ham of other meat cheese  or something equivalent 50 to 60g

Before my workout:

Shake 50g

Post workout about 2.5 to 3 hours:

Shake 50g 

Dinner about an hour later:

Whatever the wife cooks 40g typically...its usually fatty and good, so I don’t complain much about some good home cookin.

Bedtime about 2-3 hours later:

Shake 50g

(I will easily consume over a gallon of water throughout the day as well)

Once I added the increased protein my lifts have gone through the roof and my recovery has dramatically improved...my body weight also climbed to an all-time high this time of year to 326lbs right now...and I don’t see it stopping, especially with 4 more weeks of heavy lifting still in my plans...oh well, as long as I feel good, and I do...the best in my career...go figure. 

I just eat what I like....the above is what I like eating while training at my current volume and intensity.

But, as usual, this routine will stop once the season starts due to the increased traveling.  

Will, I buy my protein online for cheap as well...I found my whey protein for $16.00 for 5lbs at a clearance price.  You can find deals all the time...you just need to keep checking regularly.  My 100% Egg whites I get for $140.00 for equivalent to 650 eggs and that’s delivered to my door step. 

So, to summarize:

Not enough protein is bad and could result in mediocre gains…you need to consume at least 1.5g to reach your maximum output and overall recovery during heavy volume training.

Good luck with your training.
