How Do You Get Protein In?

[cuteNATL 93]

I'm almost 6 weeks post op and if I drink ONE MORE Premier Protein drink, I swear I will scream... How else do you all get Protein in other than using GENEPRO?

meats, yogurt, and string cheese are my go-to foods.

I add Protein Powder that I like to skim milk and add fage Greek yogurt o er fourth grams there, fish, Beans and cheese, o add yogurt to blended low fat Soups and it's yummy, seafood is high Protein and legume as well as turkey...turkey and Bean chill makes double protein plus gave yogurt on place of sour cream. Never tried them but there are protein puddings and depending on phase, bars.

I eat tuna Creations. It's a pouch of Tuna. The Lemon Pepper Flavor is 80 calories and 18 grams of Protein. In the evening I eat a couple of ounces of salmon--also high protein. Add a greek yogurt in and an 8 oz bottle of clear Isopure Protein Drink and I have no problem meeting the protein goals.

Baked fish (seafood in general), cheese, hummus, greek yogurt, chia seeds. I often have a steamed artichoke for a snack/meal, and for a vegetable is has a nice size amount of Protein (~5g).

Deli meats, dark meat poultry and seafood are usually well tolerated early on, soft cheeses, greek yogurt, SF pudding made with greek yogurt and/or Protein powder, try alternate Protein drinks (I was never impressed with RTD drinks and found that I could do a better job of adapting the flavor with the powders and other added flavors to taste.

I wouldn't be overly dependent upon that GENEPRO stuff as the main thing it can be guaranteed to produce is expensive urine. While they may not have been shut down as a fraud yet, it sure checks all the boxes of a typical nutritional supplement scam (too good to be true - 30g Protein in only 15g of product, just what is "equivalent" protein?, proprietary product - nobody knows what it really is and they aren't telling, no independent verification of their claims...)

I have to say, I was a GENEPRO skeptic but I've only been using this for 2 months because I cannot tolerate others. Had blood work today and Protein level is perfect. So, I shall continue

Fairlife milk is high in Protein, Syntrax nectar Protein flavors Water, unjury added to chicken Soup is really good too for supplements. tuna, cottage cheese, humus are all good sources of protein as well.

how do you guys make like genpro drinks and stuff?? I have stuff at home but the instructions vary. I hate smoothies/frozen concoctions, the Peanut Butter stuff was heinous, Premiere tastes so gross to me - the artificial sweetener punches me in the face with every sip. I haven't met my Protein goals in 5 days now because I'm so done with all of it. I've been buy and trying one protein mix after another, over $300 worth, with not one thing tasting good. This part is so hard I now think I've made a huge mistake because I'm going to lose all my hair, I'm never meeting my goals, I have to work full time and can't drink non-stop. Everything is so sickeningly sweet, ugh. I'm trying not to lose hope.
