Protein

What are your favorite foods that you use to get all of your Protein in. I am new to this (6 days post opt) and I am just worried that I am not going to be getting my required amounts of protein in like I should.

I was told by my dietitian, that for the first two weeks I would be on liquid Protein shakes, then soft foods, then reintroduction of regular foods. Foods that I am aware of that are high in Protein are chicken breast, fish (especially tuna), eggs, Beans, peas, and nuts. I am sure there are other foods, but this is mostly what I eat.

Hope this helps.

Protein shakes!! They aren't always the easiest to get "down" but I make myself have at least one at a min. of 40g of protein a day! Most days it's my Breakfast and lunch because I just can't stomach that much at once! I also eat at least one meat with dinner or I have eggs with cheese. My Snacks are low fat cheese sticks with 5g of protein each and I can usually eat two for a snack!
