Protein Sample Menu

@@kjones1 I'm in my 5th month post-op and my stomach has been rejecting meat for weeks now, and I've never really been able to tolerate eggs. I'm on mostly dairy and Beans for Protein, plus using unflavored Protein powder in my morning coffee and sometimes other things if I need it during the day.

I don't really limit fat, I'm eating an Atkins-ish diet, and I do lots of cheese, refried Beans, lentils, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. Like last night, I grilled a piece of flank steak for my husband and son, to make soft tacos, grilled onions and poblanos to go along with it and made some brown rice. I had leftover lentils in the fridge, so I spiced some of them with ancho chili powder and cumin, which is what I rubbed on the meat for the guys. I mashed them a little, then put them in a high-Fiber tortilla with the onions and peppers, some sour cream and some salsa. It was delicious and I didn't miss the meat at all. I skipped the rice entirely.

I add the unflavored Protein Powder to 1% milk. It has no flavor and doesn't thicken the milat all. 28 gr8 of Protein in 8oz. I used Unjury but there are probably other brands.

Sashimi (3 oz = 24g protein), Greek yogurt, cheese (all kinds), kefir, baked wild caught Salmon (3 oz = 23g protein), can of sardines, hard boiled egg, Jerky and tofu are my regulars. I don't mind healthy fats in my diet, nothing is low fat.

My go to Protein shake is 10z fairlife milk (half reg/half chocolate), 1 scoop GENEPRO, and 1 scoop PB2. You can swap the PB2 for instant Decaf for a mocha feel.

I like thinks cold, so i just picked up a personal blender to make "frapachinos" at work.

I just got Fairlife milk at Target yesterday. We were out today so didn't get the chance to try it, but will be for breakfast!!

For those having trouble with nausea, cheese sticks seem to always work for me. That definitely won't help Constipation though.

Am usinh okois to take meds as opposed to applesauce. Definitely ups protein!

I don't think I could eat enough food to get 90 grams of Protein. Suspect ill be drinking supplements until my weight is down to where I can get by on 50-60 grams a day. Meanwhile I use unflavored Protein powder.

This whole eating to live instead of living to eat thing is a life changer.

@@Aggiemae You can add unflavored Protein to almost anything...refried Beans, cottage cheese, any drink whether its hot or cold, applesauce, yogurt, broth, etc. If you get into the habit of doing that, you can eat more 'real' food and use fewer shakes for supplementation.

Meaning no fluids. Follows the rule of no drinking fluids 30 minutes prior to eating and nothing for 30 minutes after eating.
