With having to get 60g Protein in, which Ive been pretty right on I thought we could share any tricks of getting extra protein in.

My favorite is WonderSlim chocolate pudding -15g and

add 1/4c riccotta cheese (skim)-7g.

It makes it really creamy and very filling!

Mags,

I still rely on my Protein Shake in the morning to help. I mix it with skim milk and 1 scoop of Peanut Butter for extra Protein. That way, I can get about 30 grams right there.

I like fat free or lowfat cottage cheese as well. I even had some fat-free refried Beans the other night with a little bit of low fat cheese, fat free sour cream and taco sauce. It was great.

I struggle with this... The most important part. So I rely on protein shots 42 grams of whey protein. It's called New Whey, 1 vile shot has 180 calories, 2 carbs and 0 sugar. I do 1/2 of one a day (1 vile lasts 2 days) so it's an easy 21 grams right there. GNC sales it for $3.49 a vile. I am going to see the nutritionist this week. I thought I paid careful attention to her ideas but without thisI would not get my 60 grams.

Kameleon - How do they taste?

@ doctordiva.... They try to hide the protein flavor with a fruity taste but you still can taste the protein. With that said, the taste is horrible, I hold my breath as I sip. But it it's a lot of protein in just 3.8 so to me it's worth the taste.

Thanks for the info. I may have to try this as I have fallen short on Protein the past couple of days.

I use protein shakes. Premier Nutrition brand at Costco have 30 g in one shake. I drink that for breakfast and eat a lot of fish (mostly sole) for dinner. If I don't have fish, I eat greek yogurt to make up for it (14 g in a 6 oz cup). This way,I get my 65g of protein in most days.

@ mags2u that pudding sounds to die for! I will try it soon I go to the doctor tomorrow and now that I'm on soft foods I will try that!

I do an unjury Protein Shake in the morning- with skim milk it's 28 g Protein. Remember, your body can't really process more than 25-30 g protein at a time, so any more at a time is a waste.

I also eat greek yogurt, it has a lot of protein, the 0% fat with cherry is like 120 calories. Also canned chicken or tuna. With eating these things I've had no problem getting in at least 60 g protein, and it's usually more.

Where do you get the wonderslim protein? That sounds good for a chocolate fix!!

Thanks for the reminder of the protein processing limits our body has. Thats why I love this site- it keeps us all up to date! I ordered the Unjury shakes. Should be getting them soon! I haven't really had any issues getting all my protein in either. I DID discover however that Prudence (my band's name) does NOT like 100%wheat sandwich thins! OMG I thought I was dying.

prudence, that is cute!!! My band is named Magic, LOL

Got my UNJURY shakes today! What a difference. Tastes much better. Thanks for the suggestion!
