Any newbies struggling to get all their protein in?



Recommended Posts

I'm not a newbie by any means but lately i'm going through a phase where i just don't want to see food.< /p>

So i had to think of ways to maximize the amount of Protein in each meal.

I would love to see what everyone else does, i think it would help lots of us.

Disclaimer: my ideas aren't exactly new. They're just new to me lol. Feel free to add any other suggestions.

One thing i tried that i love are Breakfast parfait's.

I use fage 0% fat plain greek (taste awful by itself, it's very tart) and i add a scoop of GNC vanilla Protein to it. And top it with my favorite berries. (If you want to add rolled oats on top for a granola like effect knock yourself out) -instant 45g of protein right there.

-premier caramel a scoop of any flavor Protein Powder and caramel flavored coffee - instant 50g of protein


- i've added GENEPRO to sauces, dressings etc

I've done fruit flavored greek yogurt mixed with any ready to drink protein and blended it with berries and ice for about 50g of protein.

-loco moco over cauliflower rice (pinterest) using 93% lean ground beef, 1 egg and a few tbs of egg whites. (Almost 50g of protein)


I'll add as i think of other things i've done recently.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
