Please help I'm looking for new ideas of ways of getting my Protein in I don't think that I'm getting enough protein I do drink my shake daily which is 30 grams of protein but sometimes I'm a last minute person and I forget to pack something I've been doing pretty good but there's days that I'm running around and I just don't know what I can have I had my surgery on September 14th please can I get some ideas for protein on the go and protein Breakfast I don't really sit well with eggs

Plan, plan, plan.

Try to have at least 2 things in your arsenal that will get you at or close to 60 grms of Protein. If you drink one shake a day, you can also add a Protein Bar as snack. Always look for high Protein foods. Keep single serving packs of nuts in my car.

I would recommend keep a food dairy at least in the beginning. It will help you get organized and give you a better idea of what food work best.

Scheduling a meeting with your nutritionist to review your nutrition goals might help as well.

Yogurt (watch out for high calories and sugars), cheese stick, turkey Jerky, nuts.

NewMe, I use the food-water-protein tracker online with SparkPeople. It is a great way to keep track of Water and Protein, as well as calories. I seldom have to add a food. The data base of foods is amazing. They also have a lot of goor recipes online.

What about packets of tuna or salmon in foil? They don't require refrigeration and are super portable.

I could do tuna with light mayo but then there's nail in it I do buy those Protein packs from Walmart has cheese nuts or some sort of Peanut Butter chocolate treats and some sort of meat I should buy more of those

I try to buy a lot of chicken but then I just think about what am I going to cook I'm going to cook it I have Protein Powder but I can probably miss him with some stuff that doesn't really have Protein in it I don't know how all that works I just get frustrated

[TheNewME71 1]

I dont see food Water Protein just food water?

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

Don't like to cook? Buy precooked chicken breast. Stay away from the chocolate and PLAN nutritious Snacks instead. Sit down on a Saturday or Sunday and plan out your eating for the week. Then make sure you have the foods you need. You are relearning to eat. Spur of the moment unplanned eating is not going to help.

I know its horrible... I will put this out there..... I have 5 people to feed on a low income so when it comes to shopping i dont have a lot... I like to cook but not a cooker... I need easy non expensive recipes please and snack ideas

Thanks

Anyone know what else i xan drink besides the Protein shakes.... That had protein in thats not milky

I am on a fixed income. Weekly food planning makes that easier and cheaper. It doesn't have to be fancy. In fact keeping it simple is best. Crock pot meals. You can add Protein powder to overnight oats. I buy CVS brand Protein Powder, pretty inexpensive. I also buy plain rolled oats instead of the packets with all the additives. 1 Tbsp of nut butter with apple slices is a good snack. Pinterest had good recipes, Eggface also has good recipes.< /p>

2 carbmaster yogurts with a packet of Unjury chocolate splendor...220 calories and 30+ grams of protein...tastes like ice cream to me if i put it in the freezer for 30 mins

I am NOT a cooker either. I just posted this elsewhere but here goes anyway... Low fat refried Beans. I had 4 ounce containers I would put them in and just microwave them for 40 seconds and maybe put a little bit of low fat shredded cheese (sometimes, I really couldn't taste it so often left it off). This was warm and savory instead of sweet and made me very happy in the evenings. Good Protein. lunch would be low fat Greek yogurt. Also high in Protein.< /p>

I can't do cottage cheese and eggs didn't sit really well either so these were my mainstays.
