Yesterday was my first day with soft food and I didn't hit my protein target (off by 5 grams from my minimum). I was told I was allowed 1-2 snacks I necessary. My nutritionist told me to split one protein shake in half between breakfast and lunch now since I'm on food, making my protein intake lower now. Do I have a snack of cottage cheese or skip it and wait for lunch? I'm nervous I won't hit my protein intake..

add the flavorless protein powder to your food. It blends well with cottage cheese or greek yogurt. I also would drink the ensure clear protein drinks. I would trade on glass of water for one of the drinks. You will get there.
