Hello,

Just trying to get my protein in every day? I really need some suggestions because shakes and and Chicken are getting the best of me..I work 2 jobs and I do find that the Premier Protein shakes are handy, but expensive. I do not regret ever getting my surgery, I know it has changed my life..so if anyone reads this and can offer some recipes (web sites) or snacks that are working for them ,I would be so grateful. I am in stalled out mode.

Respectfully,

Plain chicken gets boring, but I eat a ton of chicken salad. I add a variety of things to it like dried cranberries, walnuts or pecans, celery, and I use Greek yogurt rather than mayo. My on the go quick-fix is a small whole grain/wheat tortilla with chicken salad. I usually end up tossing the last bit of tortilla away (and probably not an option for you at this point). Otherwise beef jerky and nuts are a go to while out on the road. I'll also keep a scoop of protein powder in a shaker bottle and add cold water when needed.

Another good option are the flavored tuna packets from Starkist. They are about the perfect serving size, low on cals/carbs and pack a good shot of protein. I always kept a few of those in the pantry or at work. Eating tuna by itself isn't the greatest thing in the world but the flavored packs are good.

I keep premier shakes handy as well as string cheese, yogurt and nuts. Just found Parmesan crisps and they are amazing. If I'm somewhere that no good options exist I try to search for a GNC and but a snack there

On the go I have New Whey Liquid Protein bullets that are 3.8 oz 42 grams protein, zero sugar, zero fat, 2 carbs. It’s syrupy so I take small swigs. Lactose free, gluten free, caffeine free. Found out about it via YouTube body building video so I ordered it from Amazon. Comes in a variety of flavors, better yet refrigerated. I don’t have time for long drawn out meals sometimes, nor do I want that full feeling/legarthy when I am running errands.

Kind or pure protein bars, but they arent really that cheap.

Tuna fish in the,packets, normally you can find them on sale for $1.00 and theyre about 16 grams of protein
