What are you guys eating for protein?

I'm trying to do low carb just to jump start my weight loss but I'm having a hard time finding moist Protein that will actually go down. My band is full enough now that chicken is a definite NO for me.

Give me some ideas please:)

Are you eating lean protein or fattier protein? I know with Atkins you don't typically count fat grams and fattier meat is easier to chew and swallow so I'm curious.

  • For the below food suggestions - add salt/pepper to taste. I experiment as far as quantity goes and kind of eyeball most of it. I cover everything to be baked to keep moisture in and keep foods as m

  • Beans are great protein as well as fish. maybe try steaming or broiling some fish?

I eat Oh Yeah bars as they are softer but very yummy. I am also on a Protein diet. Things that really work for me:

String cheese

Canned chicken

No sugar pudding with Protein powder

Greek yogart

Beef jerky in small bites & well chewed

Taco beef with guac & salsa

Use fat free salad dressings & broth to moisten you meats

Cheers,

Had my band 2 years ago...i had no luck with any of the Protein supplements mentioned. Most of them such as muscle milk, prograde and unjury can cause you to gain weight and they contain products in them that really aren't good for you. I have found that ViSalus is the best protein on the market. it has both whey and soy protein. so you have extended use of the protein. the soy protein is non gmo soy (not genetically modified) so people who are allergic or cant take soy because of estrogen based cancers can use this product. I researched it and talked to several different bariatric surgeons and nutritionists who recommend it highly.
