Looking for suggestions 3 months out

[Kimba46 1]

I would like to know what people are eating three months out. I don;t think I am getting enough Protein and know I need to drink more Water, however I don;t feel thirsty and have to force myself. Does anyone else have this problem. I aim for 60 grams protein a day, but some days only get 45-50. Are there any good unflavored protein powders I can mix in Soups? Love Soup for lunch but not much protein, also love Cereal for Breakfast (don't want to eat eggs everyday). I found the only cereal with a fair amount of protein is Special K high protein. Please help.

The best unflavored Protein Powder is called Unjury. I order it on-line, their chicken flavor is wonderful too. Good luck

There are going to be some who disagree with me on this but I quit worrying about it. I do eat foods geared towards Protein - shrimp (often), kashi go lean, carb control tortillas (for pizza - often with chicken). I never found a decent Protein Powder and my surgeon recommends not using them after 4 weeks because he wants it to come from food source anyway. In the morning I either eat kashi go lean, eggs, protein pancakes (check our eggface recipes - she's amazing), and sometimes I drink smoothies (2% plain chobani greek yogurt, 1 cup of baby spinach, natural puree juice, frozen fruit chunks like mangoes, blueberries, cherries, and a dash of sugar free vanilla Torani syrup). Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. Where do you buy the Torani flavored Syrup? I have not seen yet, but many people are using it. Would love to try it in plain Greek yogurt? Also, what are good Snacks that will satisfy, if you want something sweet?
