I am having a hard time getting in all my Protein each day and wanted to know how many others have/are having the same issue.

Thanks for playing!!

what stage are you in?

Are you on solids? Full liquids?

It's pretty hard to know what you're already eating/drinking at this point for Protein

Personally, I'm in fluids for 2 more weeks, but when I move up to mushies/soft I believe Protein amount expected is still 60-80gms a day.

I don't "eat" Breakfast. I have a Protein Shake - Unjury chocolate (20 grams), with 1 1/2 cups of 2% milk (12 grams) and 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter (4 grams). My morning snack is some kind of lunch meat which is Protein. Protein in my lunch. Afternoon snack is 1/2 Atkins Protein Bar. Protein at dinner. And I drink 1 Special K protein Water a day. That gives me about 68 grams of protein a day.

Do you like Isopure? Most people don't but if it doesn't bother you, it's very high in Protein . It tastes sorta like Kool-aide.

Cottage cheese is very high in Protein. A lot of people like Greek Yogurt. It's much higher in protein than any other yogurt. Fage , Okios, and Chiboni are all good brands. If you buy plain, you can add sf syrups which come in many flavors and will save a lot of calories. chicken salad, tuna and Egg salad are also good protein sources for the mushie stage.

I used to make Taco meat from either ground beef or ground turkey. Just cook the meat with taco seasoning and mix it up with sour cream and it's pretty yummy for a mushie food.

There is a recipe for a ricotta bake in the food section of the board,

You can also go to the world according to egg face web site and she has tons of recipes..

Hope these ideas are some help!
