what are some easy ways of getting protein in



Recommended Posts

So add a little not the whole scoop? I been adding a whole scoop & it makes everything watery not good 2 me

Added to suit your taste. I usually add a half scoop to yogurt or cottage cheese, but you may find a different amount works better for you. Remember, any extra will help, especially if you can add that little bit several times a day.

If you are allowed coffee, you can add half a scoop of Protein powder into an 8 ounce cup of coffee. It's DELISH!

Also one of my favorite things is cottage cheese/jello mousse

puree a cup of cottage cheese in a blender to get out the bumps. Make sugar free Jello (I use 1/2 cup boiling Water and 1.5 cups cold Water it works just fine) pour liquid Jello in blender with the cottage cheese.. blend on high.. A bit of unflavored Protein Powder can be added as well for an extra boost.. It's a nice dessert.

These are all fantastic ideas. I just wanted to share something with everyone that I experienced tonight.

So there was Protein in unexpected places...

Hubby took me out on a date tonight. We went out for Thai food. I don't know of any good Thai places in SD but we chose one and we ordered the seafood Tom Yum Soup. I have had this before and it is delicious. I had some broth and he had the full Soup. It was all good until I was almost done with my cup and noticed all sorts of things floating around in it. Ground chili's, oil, fish remnants from the stock, and wait... what is this I see?? a bug. OMG.. a bug... ew. It looked like a roach. I felt ill immediately. Hubby was trying to calm me down so I wouldn't puke. Thankfully I didn't. But he did....LOL

Does anyone think this is a coincidence when this is on our news? http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/health/UN-Wants-You-to-Eat-More-Bugs-207277711.html

      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! 😞
