Meals with at least 20 grams of PROTEIN

[amey_idaho 0]

I'm a planner...I feel better when I can plan meals for the week so I'm not sitting at work wondering 'What am I going to have for lunch today?'...since I didn't have time to throw something together this morning and couldn't figure out what to have this morning.

So....I thought this might be a good idea if we all post a favorite meal or 2 that has 20 grams of Protein or more. I figure 3 meals X 20 grams Protein = 60 and that way we have made our protein goal for the day.

I'll start....

Breakfast:

Muscle Milk Light - 20 grams protein, 160 calories

Lunch:

Wendy's Small Chili w/ 2 pkgs crackers - 20 grams protein, 270 calories

Dinner:

ummm yea, no ideas....hence this thread

Now it's your turn :biggrin:

I know a lot of people can't stand them but sardines are a great source of ready to go easy to keep on hand Protein. I liked all type of sardines and a typical can is between 13-15 grams of Protein about 150 calories and less than 4 oz. Go with a skinless & boneless sort in Water instead of olive oil and you end up with less calories and 23 - 30 grams of protein (and they're less off putting without the skin and bones).

I've also taken a liking to the chicken of the Sea tuna cups, they're less than three ounces, 80 Calories, and about 18 grams or protein. Sometimes when I'm a little hungrier I'll have one tuna cup and a 2% Cottage cheese 4 oz snack pack which is 11g of protein and only 90 calories. That's 29g of protein and only 170 calories.
