Protein pills?

Started thinking that there is a pill for everything. When I looked up Protein pills, there are tons of options. Is this safe for sleeves? Do they work? Which one is best?

By the way, I can NOT do shakes of any kind and I've been trying so hard to eat as much protein as possible, but I can never make the requirements. Im well past any restrictions in my diet, and I already take lots of pills/vitamins. What's one more? Thoughts? Side effects?

I also had my surgery in Mexico so I really do not talk to a NUT. Any thoughts?

From what I understand, you'd have to take a ton of Protein pills to get even a quarter of your daily requirements, so its really not a great option financially or health-wise.

If you don't like doing shakes, I'd recommend getting a flavorless Protein powder and adding it to whatever you're making like Soups, salad dressings, stir it into casseroles, etc.

Getting in enough protein isn't that hard if you know what to eat. A 6 ounces plain fat free greek yogurt has 18g of protein, so that's almost 1/3 of the recommended minimum. Tuna also has 13g of protein for 2 ounces, and skinless chicken breast has 18g per 2 ounces. A 2 ounces serving at your time out of any meat is more than reasonable and doable. Even if all you ate the entire day was tuna, chicken, and yogurt you'd definitely get enough protein for the day and still keep your calories fairly low. Add in whatever Snacks you're eating and you'll be just fine.
