katikati 127 Posted March 14, 2013 Does anyone know of any simple foods to add to get a Protein boost in my day? I know that many people add unflavored protein to their meals, but I'm looking for something different if at all possible. I have a hard time tolerating any powdered Proteins. I'm falling short on my protein most days, but I don't want to add anything that's going to add anything but protein. I have room for more calories, as I'm averaging about 450 every day. I just can't quite eat enough at a meal yet to add more meat.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGKirk 855 Posted March 14, 2013 Greek yogurt and string cheese really helps boost my Protein - sound like you might have caloric room for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TES 858 Posted March 14, 2013 The Morningstar products are good (vegetarian protein). I like the Breakfast patties (like sausage patties) for 10 g of Protein and 80 calories, plus they are tasty--and the "meal starters" (also Morningstar) vegetarian meatballs. Also, fat-free crumbled feta cheese is a good source of protein, though it's a bit high in sodium so I don't eat it every day (same with fat-free cheese). I like greek yogurt with chocolate Protein Powder and splenda mixed into it. Or PB2, the dry Peanut Butter. Tastes like peanut butter or chocolate mousse....
