I'm kinda " over" protein shakes. They are so sweet to me. Or maybe I need to mix them up

A bit. Anyway. What are some other high protein foods that are not shakes?

Does anyone else miss veggies with their meal? I get annoyed sometimes at my all meat meal.

I get 70-80 gm of Protein a day.....stay around 900-1000 calories

I still incorporate SOME veggies and even fruit into my diet. Heck you gotta "keep things moving" you know what I mean!

OH and Joy - I also did miso Soup (I love it from a certain restaurant) ... it was supposed to be high in Protein. I'd have to look it up to know for sure, but if you get bored, that's another one to try. Also go to the world according to eggface and look in her recipes. She has one for ... oh what is it.... no bake lasagna or something. It's tomato sauce and ricotta I believe. I know those soft phases and such can be boring, but it won't last that long. I swear!

oh it's baked ricotta.... here's the recipe:

Shelly's Baked Ricotta

8 oz of Ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 large Egg, beaten

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup Marinara Sauce

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly. I usually made it first in the oven and heated the leftovers in the microwave

awesome! Only one more week (less actually) until regular foods... and havent found too many soft foods that dont sit well yet so i'm anticipating good transition to regular food...

This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful)

Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.
