What foods are highest in protein?



Recommended Posts

I'm not getting my Protein in and looking for suggestions as to the foods that are higher in protein. I just started tracking my foods on MyFitnessPal so I am seeing what I've been getting in. I may take 1 Protein Shake a day to help

Thanks for the replies. The website is very helpful to put it all together and put it in perspective. Shrimp is out as I have a shellfish allergy. I am incorporating the cheese. Anybody using Protein Powder in their foods? I don't have a clue on that.

eggs are great too! 6g of Protein per egg and they are soft so it's easy on our sleeves. Best of luck!

I mix 1 single serve pouch of tuna with 1/4 C .2% cottage cheese and 1 T. of regular mayo for 2 servings. 1 serving has 83 cal., 2g carbs, 3g. fat, 1 Fiber, and 13 Protein. I often eat this for lunch with 1/4 of an avocado.

1/2c greek yogurt

1/2 c frozen berries

1sc vanilla protein powder

2 tsp inulin (benefiber)

1/2 c milk

Soup is an exception to the rule...just like the i before e except after c rule...there are lots of words that fall into this category..like: financier, glacier

Same with Soup it is one of the things that you can eat anyway. it still has the same influence on your system as drinking Water with your meal but it has nutritional value through the liquid. It will not stay in your system as long as dense Protein but it is good to have some anyway....Not every day...but a good bowl of well made soup is still healthy for you....

I also drink the milk when I have my Cereal every morning....There are things you just can't get away from.....

tuna, Fish, eggs, Corned Beef and Hash, shakes obviously, peanuts (don't have them everyday). Tuna is my big one, they make so many different ones and different kinds it just doesn't get boring and very, very high in Protein.< /p>

Interesting, I'll have to try that. I have never had tuna mixed with cottage cheese. :)

Thanks, this is a good one too. Seems like a lot of Protein for a small amount of food. I think I can try that. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
