Favorite Protein rich foods



Recommended Posts

Ok I have a few list of Protein rich foods. What I need now are some ideas from people and suggests for someone who doesn't cook very well. How do you put the protein sources together. What are your most frequently used sources?

Just discovered the joys of CHili...I have to start making my own though in a slow cooker. I usually use the Hormel pop in micorwave numbers which are actually good!

Greek yogurt with fruit at bottom...tho getting weary of them.

cheese .....and not the low fat kind. I should curb this but I

eat so little now I think I can afford the calories. :tongue2:

Some really simple things I've prepared recently:

Meatloaf

Fish and shrimp tacos

Slow cooker chicken parmesan

Slow cooker beef stew

Beanie weenie (my husband loves this :tongue2:)

Oven BBQ chicken

Slow cooker ham, potatoes, and green Beans

Grilled chicken or salmon on salad

Tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad

I LOVE to cook, and there are some really fast, easy recipes out there. Allrecipes.com is my favorite recipe website; Campbells Soup also has some really simple, tasty recipes--lots of easy one-dish meals.

CRAB!!!

I love crab and make crab cakes regularly, which I freeze and have available when the family has something for lunch/dinner that isn't good for me. You can really reduce the calories and carbs and still maintain great flavor by using egg whites instead of whole eggs and using reduce fat mayo. By the way, each crab cake is only 105 cals w/ 16g of Protein.

I also make crab salad.

I love to cook so don't have a problem with coming up with meal ideas. But, have a few tips for on-the-go items or high Protein fill-ins when on the go.

Beef Jerky (I love the Worlds Kitchen brand...Amazon.com)

Seapoint roasted Edemame and Seapoint roasted soynuts...also ordered from Amazon.com

Pure Protein and Myoplex Lite bars...Walmart or Amazon.com

      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.
