Protein~what am i doing wrong

How are many of you doing 80+ grams of protein and keeping it 500-800 calories!?!?

I can't get the math to make sense. Today I had 1 1/2 pc of fish with about a tablespoon of tartar sauce, a protein shake, 4 oz of chicken, 2 bites of watermelon and a low cal fudgecicle, I'm OVER 800 calories and I only have 57 gm of protein. What the heck....

    Heck I don't need anything but a spoon for my Peanut Butter. If you google PB-2 what will pop up is the orig brand by i think plantation. I have heard you can order peanut flour which is similar.

Isn't it funny when we start talkking about things like this how it gets into our thought processes....

Should have waited an hour Laura- Ven and then it could have been in your Friday numbers. ;-)

I'll have to hit Freddie's tomorrow.

I'm in the Chicago area and Walmart carries PB2. If you go to Walmart, check it out. I also have a problem drinking protein shakes. They taste disgusting to me now.

Hey Laura Ven what calorie tracker are you using?

I liked to keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer, I still do. I always have 1% cottage cheese on hand. 1/2 cup is 13 grams of protein. Eggs are good, tuna fish, and I add 1.5 TB of Lite Mayo to a can. Also, from the beginning I start every day and end every day with 8 oz of skim milk, That is 16 grams of protein right there. Good luck, it takes us all a while to figure it out!!
