Awesome Portable Protein Source



Recommended Posts

This past week my nutritionist gave me an awesome tip on how to get Protein in. I have been having trouble meeting the minimum requirement AND getting in all my Water. She suggested that I try dried edamame (soy beans). She said salted was fine or even one serving a day can be with dried fruit. Just 1/4 of a cup gives you 14 grams of protein & only 2 grams of net carbs. It is the easiest protein to bring out & about too. 1/4 cup in a ziploc bag fits in even a tiny purse. It is also great if you are missing foods that are salty and crunchy. It really helped me to meet my nutritional goals for the week. Just thought that I would pass it along! :)

these are real good, I buy them at www.Nuts.com / http://www.nuts.com/...d-unsalted.html

they're way better than peanuts, loaded with protien. Just waiting that they be ok for post op diet which it seems this week I just now get a bag. They also sell fresh edamame un roasted bagged at area grocers, unsure that I can roast them I can how ever saute them, steam or add to recipe but haven't ventured so far, just love the roasted snack.< /p>

You can also but a large bag at Sam's club that has several individual bags inside. You just pop in the microwave and let them heat up and then eat. they even come with little salt packets if you want to salt them. Ive been eating them for years in place of popcorn when we do movie night at home.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
