BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 4, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thisfathasgot2go 235 Posted November 5, 2015 Yogurt (watch out for high calories and sugars), cheese stick, turkey Jerky, nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CynthiaAnn 59 Posted November 5, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweetPotato 142 Posted November 5, 2015 What about packets of tuna or salmon in foil? They don't require refrigeration and are super portable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewME71 1 Posted November 5, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewME71 1 Posted November 5, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewME71 1 Posted November 5, 2015 I dont see food Water Protein just food water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 5, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewME71 1 Posted November 5, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 5, 2015 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slvarltx 332 Posted November 5, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenLoh 128 Posted November 5, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
