<br /> Question, I am losing me hair, any suggestions? I had really thick hair, but my hair is getting thin. I am taking plenty of vitimins and the nurse told me to add Biotin so I started that.<br /> <br /> Any suggestions on high Protein choices. I need more protein I assume.<br /> __________________

<br /> <br /> Khanson: Sounds to me like you definitely needs more protein,(hair, nails, and muscle) Not to mention staying full longer and the other benefits for our body. <br /> <br /> My doctor recommends me getting like 47g of protein a day. Thats something i aim for everyday.<br /> <br /> Some suggestions could be:<br /> <br /> ~Chicken (medium size grilled drumstick w/o skin is 12g)<br /> ~Tuna (individual packet size of albacore tuna has 12 or 19 g if i remember correctly)<br /> ~Cottage Cheese has a lot. I would recommend the cottage cheese doubles their good and not to high in cal. (11g for the individual size)<br /> ~Boost Drink, high protein, i recommend the chocolate one (15g)<br /> <br /> I'll usually start my day off with a Boost Drink (depending on how much restriction you have and how tight you are in the morning i find that sometimes it may take a hour to drink slowly.) but it gives you a head start on that days protein intake.<br /> <br /> This is what works for me, i'm not saying it will be good for you but i hope it at least gives you some help. <br /> <br /> If you don't like the foods above try going to, HIGHPROTEINFOODS.COM it has some good ideas on there.<br /> <br /> <br /> Best of luck!!!! <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /><br />
