Hello I need help with what type of foods I should be eating . People always say protein but I need specific types of foods . If any body could please take the time to help me I would really be grateful

Fpr protein- I eat canned chicken or tuna, I really like store bought rotisserie chicken (it's moist). I eat a lot of scrambled eggs with morningstar farms original sausage patties crumbled up in them. I also eat a lot of black beans and refried beans. Keep track of your food in myfitnesspal, it keeps track of the protein grams you're eating and you can make sure you're getting enough. I strive for at least 80 g a day. I also have a protein shake every morning (I use unjury) and I add 2 tsp powdered fiber from WalMart.

Hope this helps!! Of course I eat other things, this was the protein part .

Any meat, pork, beef, chicken, tukey, fish. I can eat all of this but some people have trouble with certain meats. Add to this veggies, cottage cheese (great protien). Get creative. Here is my typical day.

Breakfast - Greek Yogurt

Lunch - Some type of sandwich on toasted bagle thin. Usually turkey or chicken or tuna salad. Sometimes egg salad. If I don't have something like this I will have a bowl of chili or a salad with left over meat from the night before.

Supper - I always have a chicken breast or small piece of steak or pork chop. I usually do it on the grill. Along with a veg. I love broccolli or steamed cabbage, green beans, peas. I love all veggies. Sometimes I will add a really small potato. We are meat and potato people and every now and then I just got to have one. The potato is fine it's what you put on it.

This is a typical meal plan for me .

But I also eat other things. I love stir fry, or fresh walleye... mmmmm. I still eat spagetti once in a while. It amuses me cuz it really fills me up so I don't eat a cup total. I think I used to eat 6 times that amount along with garlic bread. I eat cottage cheese as a side a lot, it has GREAT protien. I really can eat just about anything, I try to cook with less fat and "extra's" but really what I eat has not changed drastically, only in quantity. I cook a lot healthier but I still eat things I always ate.

I NEVER drink a protien shake or any beverage that has calories. I'd rather eat my calories then drink them.

I agree with the MyFittnessPal logging. I log absolutely everything. It will track your calories and protien. It really helps keep you accountable and you know exactly what you eat each day.

Good Luck!

Thanks all very helpful
