pre- op diet how to get the protein?

[hcabrooks197 20]

I am having to do a nutritional log and I am having trouble getting all my Protein. I can eat normal foods but need to keep it under 1200 calories with at least 70-75 of protein.

I dont have any shakes or powders yet so how else could I get it?

Are you on liquids only?

Oops sorry...normal food Proteins will coven from your lean meats and fish. Salmon is a great source of Protein.

I am going ro have to divide my calories better than I have been.

I just want to add that I never get even close to 75 grams of Protein. 50 is really good for me.

I use liquid egg whites to add Protein to my drinks. You need to make sure you get double pasteurized egg whites. I don't taste a difference, but some people can not get over the idea of drinking eggs. Each pump is 3.3 grams of protein.
