Any lowfat meat, fish, or poultry is good. I've listed a few of my favs below, along with the other high Protein foods I enjoy.

1% Fat Cottage Cheese: 1/2 cup has 81 calories and 14 grams of protein

Fage 0 Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup has 65 calories and 12 grams protein

98% Fat Free Ham Lunchmeat (Costco brand) and many other low fat lunchmeats: 25 calories per ounce and 5 grams of protein

Most cooked chicken breast meat: 46 calories and 9 grams of protein per ounce

Soy Milk or Non-fat Milk: 8-9 grams of protein and 80-90 calories per 8 o

I find beef jerky to be great - fills me up, lots of protein

Greek Yogurt

Edamame

Lunch meat of all types

Shrimp

Chicken

Tofu

At what stage of the PO diet can these foods be eaten?

The majority of them are full foods again - stage four is what my NUT called it. Yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta, eggs would probably be stage 3, soft foods.

Basically for myself the way I got basically all my substantial Protein in stage one and two was from Protein drinks. Stage 3 I was able to get more from food, stage four I still have one scoop of Protein powder a day and perhaps a protein par plus food to get my protein - but I also have a higher calorie count and protein number now being 9 months out.

Every program is different. I could all of these except beef and jerky after my two week post-op appt. Was cleared for beef and jerky at 6 weeks. But I didn't eat jerky till I was further out.
