Hello XXXXXXX
I appreciate your positive look towards your health
Yes, paneer contains good amount of protein, along with protein powder you can get protein through your diet.
Along with current diet, you can add other protein contains food like nuts, peanut butter with whole grain toast, fruits, cheese, soya, pulses or sprouts and meal maker which contains good amount of protein.
Not only protein contains food but you have to take well balanced diet which contains fat, low calorie carbohydrate food and protein.
Need not say about physical exercises since you are already doing work out. But I suggest you do work outs with gym master instruction who can give you right instructions.
Eat small amounts of food 4-5 times a day. Do not eat heavy meal at a time.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
