Protein

[BrittBritt89 15]

So, I'm about 10 weeks out and I'm having trouble getting in my Protein. I don't eat enough to get it in and i'm SICK of shakes... has anyone found it easier to eat Protein Bars? (I haven't tried any yet) but I'm considering it...

Have you tried the Syntrax Nectar? The lemonade one is quite good as well as the ice tea.23 grams of Protein I think. And it mixes like Water so no shake like consistency.

@heatherable I have not, but I'm definitely gonna give it a try. Thank you

Have you tried unflavored Protein Powder? You can add it to broth or Jello and get your Protein that way. I was told to avoid protein bars because they usually have too many carbs in them. Best of luck!
@heatherable.... where can I find the Syntrax Nectar?

I'm going to try this again since it looks like half the words disappeared....
@BrittBritt89.... Have you tried unflavored Protein powder? You can mix it in broths and strained veggie Soups and low fat cream soups like cream of chicken Soup. From what I understand you can also mix it in your yogurt. The oikos triple zero yogurt is really good and has a lot of protein in it.

cod had 25 grams of Protein for a 4oz piece. I never ate cod before this and it's a nice white flakey fish with a mild taste. My doctor has it on the soft and mushy food stage, but it's obviously fine for any post liquid stage

I call my local fish market and they'll cook me a 4 oz piece for lunch or dinner while I'm working and use seasonings only and bake or steam it. I have had them pre-cut pieces for me too for home that I'll season up and then freeze in foil so I can put them right into the oven.

It might be a little too soon to transition to Protein bars. It wasn't until the 3rd or 4th month that my nutritionist recommended them. Your stomach may still need a little extra time. A Protein Bar is probably too dense at this point. I used Quest protein bars. These bars were good in that they had high protein, minimal sugar and also contained Fiber. They also came in a lot of different flavors. Some protein bars are almost similar to candy bars, so be careful. So check for protein content, sugar content and fiber content.

Protein bars are good when you are on the go and can't drag along a blender in order to mix a Protein Shake.

A Quest protein bar contains 220 calories and provides 21 grams of protein. A Muscle Milk Light protein shake [2 scoops of powder in a 16 ounce glass] contains 210 calories and provides 25 grams of protein. So they are comparable.

Go to the Facebook page. They have a number to call for a sample pack of 16 different flavors for 16.00 otherwise, Amazon has it along with factory direct.(lots of 40%off codes on Instagram pages) Also try health food stores because it's fairly popular. It's also lactose free[emoji3]

5 months out and I have never had a Protein problem. I pretty much mapped out a solution in the beginning

Cottage cheese 1/2c 11g protein

P3 - ham, turkey, cheddar - 14g

1/2c ground turkey in Manwich - 22g

3oz diced chicken breast - 19g

2oz Ol Farmers ham wrapped around a cheesestick - 16g

Turkey Chili 1/2 c -22g

Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt - 15g

Just to name a few. I haven't had a Protein Shake in months.

I agree with the unfavored Protein Powder!! I love GENEPRO!! It defintly has no taste. I add it to my Espresso everyday. It has 30grams of protein in one tablespoon. I consider this a WIN WIN thing. I would drink my coffee any way so its great for me. The only thing is I just wish I would have found it 3 years ago. Give it a try. It cost some but it last forever.
