Good high protein recipe

[downsizing2017 64]

I've found a great chicken salad recipe yesterday. It was delicious . You get Protein from the chicken. And the celery is very high in Fiber. Which is needed when eating high protein. Thought I'd pass it on. Hope you like and feel free to substitute ingredients to your liking.

This is for a large bowl. Many meals

1 rotisserie chicken remove skin and dice.

4 stalks celery diced

1 bunch green onions diced

8 oz fat free sour cream

1/2 cup fat free mayo or LF

4 strips bacon cooked & crumbled

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup roasted chopped pecans

1 tsp soy sauce

Mix all ingredients except chicken

Once combined stir in chicken.

Best if chilled for 2 hours

You can add more ingredients

Like grapes ,dried cranberries, Apple, raisins

Anything healthy that adds flavor

Hope you enjoy.

That sounds awesome. Is it ok to eat things like raisins, apples, or grapes? Aren't they high in carbs?

If your plan is low carb. Then no it is not okay. My plan is not low carb so it is okay for me. You need to be aware what is in your plan not eat things you see others at your stage eating when it may not be on your plan.

Grapes are totally high in sugar

But it depends how much youre eating too

A cup of grapes is 15g of sugar.

But if youre eating 4-6oz of food at a meal, how much of that is really going to be grapes ? 2-3 grapes ?

That being said a staple of Bariatric Eating is usually Protein > veges > everything else (carbs).

I dont think it makes a ton of sense adding them if youre only going to eat like two, but I dont think theres anything wrong with it either if that floats your boat (or youre cooking for a family that includes non bariatric diet folks)
