pre- op diet how to get the protein?

I am having to do a nutritional log and I am having trouble getting all my protein. I can eat normal foods but need to keep it under 1200 calories with at least 70-75 of protein.

I dont have any shakes or powders yet so how else could I get it?

Are you on liquids only?

Oops sorry...normal food proteins will coven from your lean meats and fish. Salmon is a great source of protein.

Ground turkey is good also yogurt too

Have some cheese or eggs

Thats just it. I have been eating all day. Im way under my calories for once in my life and still need more protein.

I am going ro have to divide my calories better than I have been.

Ham and cheese

1oz serving of ham is 5grams

1oz serving of mozzarella is 9grams

calories 100

Cottage cheese & pineapple

4oz of cottage cheese 14grams

4oz of Del Monte Pineapple Tidbits in juice none

Calories 150

I just want to add that I never get even close to 75 grams of Protein. 50 is really good for me.

I use liquid egg whites to add protein to my drinks. You need to make sure you get double pasteurized egg whites. I don't taste a difference, but some people can not get over the idea of drinking eggs. Each pump is 3.3 grams of protein.
