A while back I put together a list of high protein foods. If you post or PM me your email address I'd be glad to send it to you. Forum rules don't allow me to post the Excel file. I've sent it to dozens of folks on the forum.

It's difficult to get all of your protein without some kind of supplement but hopefully you'll find some things here that will help!

You also might try getting the unflavored protein powder. First thing in the morning' date=' put a scoop of the powder in a small bowl. Depending on the powder, one scoop is 20g or more of protein. When you eat or drink something, put a pinch of the protein powder in. You can add it to almost anything and if it's just a pinch, you shouldn't notice the taste too much. By the end of the day you've eaten an additional 20g of protein, a pinch at a time.

Trying anything you can think of until you're getting all of your protein in every day is well worth the effort. Unlike fat or starches, your body cannot store protein and the nine "essential" amino acids must be obtained from food - the body cannot manufacture them. That means they need to be replenished every day. It's quite important for faster healing, increased energy, reducing hair loss, preserving lean muscle tissue and protection from bacterial and viral infections. You're gonna love the new you!!

Someone suggested adding unflavored protein to water along with a packet of crystal light. I tried it & it did a great job of hiding the protein! I added half a scoop in the bottle. Good way to get a few extra grams in!

You should check with your nutritionist. Not everyone has the same requirements. Some are based in weight & some on height.

You would have to eat a lot on a consistent basis so it's pretty rare but it is possible to suffer from "protein poisoning". Normally there isn't a problem with protein but...if you have kidney or liver problems, too much can overwork one or both. Good idea to follow your doctor's recommendation for your daily protein. If you want to exceed that for some reason, ask your doctor first.
