Protein How Do You Get It In

[Joni 94]

I bought the premier chocolate rtd's with high hopes and didn't get past 2 sips. Nope,, nada, not me. My daughter really likes them so they won't go to waste! Good idea, I think I'll have tilapia for dinner.< /p>

If u don't mind me asking, which one did you like?

I eat a lot of cheese (love the babybel cheeses), greek yogurts and chicken. I try to get my Protein in through regular food, but when I am behind schedule I will eat a Protein Bar or drink a Protein Drink.

I like Atkins Mudslide, which has 15 grams of Protein in a single bar. It is also pretty tasty (my kids keep stealing them). There is a Peanut Butter chocolate version with 19 grams.

For protein drinks, especially in hot weather, I really like Bariwise's Fruit Drinks. Each flavor has 15 grams of protein. I like all the flavors but really like peach mango (I believe that is the flavor). It's like a flavored tea, but it isn't tea. It tastes good, and it isn't thick as Protein shakes.

I try to get in at least 15 grams of protein with each meal. With 4 meals a day that is 60 grams of protein. I tend to eat around 6 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. I try to avoid eating at night. I get about 10 grams of protein from Snacks, usually some type of cheese.< /p>

I am supposed to have 70 grams a day.

That sounds doable, I've been doing a lot of fish to make up for not drinking the protien shakes. how long after surgery were u able to follow that diet.

I find foods that are heavy on Protein. One of my favorites is ahi tuna. 7 grams of Protein per oz. I found the Power Crunch bars are heavy on protein, taste good, and are wafers so not as filling as say perhaps a denser protein bar. chicken, eggs, string cheese, greek yogurt are all things that I eat from as my meals throughout the day. I also have slim fast low carb high protein shakes on hand that I will drink slowly from throughout the day if I am running low on the protein side and don't feel like eating.

Oh and I use myfitnesspal to help keep track of my protein for me. Its a great resource tool!

Is the ahi tuna anything like albacore tuna? Where do u find it?

I'm on my preop diet now...surgery day may 29th...and I love the extreme smoothies. They have 35 grams of Protein per 11 oz and its pure whey isolate.< /p>

[Joni 94]

what are extreme smoothies? Do they contain sugar?

[stevibogan 2]

No sugar. They come in chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. They r not real thick or chalky. I get mine at a local health food store in town. U could probably order them online. I pay $2.75 per shake.< /p>

I got my ahi tuna steaks in the frozen seafood section at costco. 3lbs for $30 but at only 3 oz per meal it's well worth it.
