I'm not getting my protein in and looking for suggestions as to the foods that are higher in protein. I just started tracking my foods on MyFitnessPal so I am seeing what I've been getting in. I may take 1 protein shake a day to help

Shrimp is a great food. Very high protein and goes down very easily for me. Cheese is good too.

I eat chicken, fish, ground beef, ground turkey, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and regular cheese.

This site will help you with your question..K

Greek yogurt, tuna with cottage cheese, chicken, fish

Thanks for the replies. The website is very helpful to put it all together and put it in perspective. Shrimp is out as I have a shellfish allergy. I am incorporating the cheese. Anybody using protein powder in their foods? I don't have a clue on that.

Eggs are great too! 6g of protein per egg and they are soft so it's easy on our sleeves. Best of luck!

I mix 1 single serve pouch of tuna with 1/4 C .2% cottage cheese and 1 T. of regular mayo for 2 servings. 1 serving has 83 cal., 2g carbs, 3g. fat, 1 Fiber, and 13 Protein. I often eat this for lunch with 1/4 of an avocado.

I've always had a shake for Breakfast only now I add 1sc Protein Powder.

It's 270 cal with 44 gr protein. Halfway there in one meal.

1/2c greek yogurt

1/2 c frozen berries

1sc vanilla protein powder

2 tsp inulin (benefiber)

1/2 c milk

Soup is an exception to the rule...just like the i before e except after c rule...there are lots of words that fall into this category..like: financier, glacier

Same with soup it is one of the things that you can eat anyway. it still has the same influence on your system as drinking Water with your meal but it has nutritional value through the liquid. It will not stay in your system as long as dense Protein but it is good to have some anyway....Not every day...but a good bowl of well made soup is still healthy for you....

I also drink the milk when I have my Cereal every morning....There are things you just can't get away from.....

Refried beans and cheese- 12 g protein (1/2 cup of beans, 1/4 cup cheese)

Tuna, Fish, Eggs, Corned Beef and Hash, Shakes obviously, peanuts (don't have them everyday). Tuna is my big one, they make so many different ones and different kinds it just doesn't get boring and very, very high in protein.

Interesting, I'll have to try that. I have never had tuna mixed with cottage cheese.

Thanks, this is a good one too. Seems like a lot of Protein for a small amount of food. I think I can try that.
