starting soft foods tomorrow help

[brittanix0 2]

So, I will be a month out on Dec 22. I'm struggling to get all my Protein in. I'm on pureed foods or like extremely soft foods.

I start complete soft foods tomorrow. So i'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for me.

I already eat,

oatmeal

eggs

mashed potatoes

I don't like tuna or sea food.

So i'm struggling.

Please help!

One of my go to's is canned chicken - it packs a lot of Protein. I mix it with some low-fat mayo and mustard.

I also like turkey lunchmeat and cheddar cheese (these are both on my approved list).

I made some ground beef with taco seasoning - place that on top of some fat free refried Beans and topped with cheese. I made a dip of plain Greek yogurt and salsa.

Do you like Greek yogurt? I couldn't stand it at first, but I mix it with a little 1% milk to make it a bit thinner.

I roasted some chicken breast last night and it was good (chew chew chew)

I'm 5 weeks out tomorrow - I can't eat enough Protein, so I still drink 2-3 shakes per day.

I have used unflavored Protein powder and added it to enchilada sauce and clear mild taco sauce and put it on the refried Beans. Very good. You can make a lowfat chili with refried Beans, a little ground cooked turkey, and other ingredients. I made cream of wheat once and added Protein Powder. I am trying to experience different things. Soups are so good in cold weather that is has been my go to meal. Good luck!
