I'm lost. Sick of protein drinks. I'm not sure what to eat or the amount of food to make. I was thinking about making some meals and freezing but don't know what to make. What to buy. My husband doesn't understand that I can't just go eat a donut to get my calories. So anyways that was a long way to ask for things you all get from the grocery store.

Mostly I buy protein shakes, cheese, lean ham deli meat, chicken, steak, and hamburger.

Thanks

Chicken, chicken sausage, Siggi’s yogurt, cottage cheese, Fairlife 0% milk w/ Swiss Miss Reduced Calorie Hot Chocolate, Quest bars, Think Thin bars, eggs, string cheese... those are my go-to protein items. Hope that helps!

Ground turkey breast, turkey breast cutlets, chicken tenders, eggs, cottage cheese, tripple zero greek yogurt (orange cream), Fairlife low fat milk, Starkist tuna pouches, mozarella string cheese.

Tuna pouches are a great way to get your protein and they have bunch of different flavors

Thanks guys. That does help.

rice cakes and PB2 make a wonderful sweet treat

I love buying pre-made rotisserie chicken from the store and making just a simple salad.

Thanks I'm going to get some of these things.

Not sure what phase of eating you're in. I'm 7 months out, so take whatever of this you can eat:

I always have different types of yogurt, quark (a cheese that is yogurt consistency), eggs, different types of cheeses (cracker cuts and various shredded cheese), baked tofu in different flavors, frozen tilapia, frozen shrimp, frozen veg, veggie burgers, tuna, and milk. I also keep frozen berries in the freezer to put in the yogurt. I also typically have a couple cans of veggie chili and pouches of Indian lentils. For condiments, I always have salsa, thai chili sauce, and soy sauce on hand. For snacks, I have individual hummus tubs, parmesan chips, and some carrots.

I make two batches of eggface's ricotta bake (google it) in some mini loaf pans (4 loaves per recipe) and add a bit of sauteed spinach for flavor. I'll freeze 4 loaves and put 4 in the fridge.

I'll make a modified tuna casserole (no noodles) - take any recipe for single serve mac and cheese and just add the cheese sauce to a can of tuna and bake for about 15-20mn. This will usually last me 2-3 meals. Sometimes I freeze what I don't eat.

I make fish curry (http://meerasodha.com/coconut-fish-curry-from-my-book-made-in-india/) - freeze in individual serving sizes.

I like this (although I cut the recipe WAY down: https://www.bariatricfoodie.com/one-pan-cooking-tilapia-fire-roasted-tomato-sauce/

I'll also make egg salad (2 hard boiled eggs, mashed with 1 TBL greek yogurt and 1 TBL mayo).

This all gives me some variety and lets me have some food stocked in the freezer. I have a vacuum sealer, which helps the frozen food stay fresh.

I like to brown 1/2 of these and scramble 1/4 cup of egg whites then a sprinkle of fat free mozzarella.

Genepro protein powder is a little pricey but perfect for you to put in your food. No taste and it's a really small scoop compared to others!
