How do you get 70gm of protein without shakes



Recommended Posts

It makes a difference how many time a day you're eating something as far as how easy it is to get all your Protein in without shakes, My NUT recommends eating 3 meals and 2-3 Snacks per day, but I've seen some whose NUT recommend just 3 meals a day only. I actually struggle getting enough calories in more than the Protein. A couple non shake ideas I have that haven't already been mentioned are Quaker Weight Control instant Oatmeal-Maple and Brown sugar flavor-has 7gm of protein per packet and when made with cup of skim milk 15gms. You can find a lot of meat/bean chili's that have a lot of protein, I have one with 20gms of protein (I put in blender ,I'm still in pureed stage). 1 cup of sugar free pudding has 8gm of protein-from the milk and if you add unflavored powder you can make it even higher in protein. I love a cup of the SF cheesecake pudding for my last snack of the day. Not too heavy close to bedtime. You can also buy some meals from online bariatric stores that are high in protein, my bariatric center has their own store which carries a lot of different brands, that's where I get the chili from.

I can manage more like 5 meals a day ... assuming no nausea and no throwing up. I'd love some cheesecake. Some tail - I was looking forward to that at 6 months out.

:)

Looks like you've got something good going there. My question is: does your docs' office help you with this or do you do it yourself?
