Protein from Food.

Hi. I am wondering if anyone is able to get enough protein, per day, by food. I am 10 weeks post op and have been on “normal” food for over a month. I absolutely detest protein powder, protein shakes, protein drink and any form or protein supplement. Not only do I detest, but it doesn’t sit well inside my stomach. I try to eat protein throughout the day (eggs, chicken, turkey, Greek yogurt, tuna, some cheeses) but I feel like I am no where near my protein gram goal. Wondering if anyone is hitting their protein goal with actual and food and what you are eating. Thanks.

    I hear ya on the shakes. I like Built Bars they have tons of protein and they are nothing like your typical protein bars. Almost like eating a candy bar. Low sugar. Really good. I was also doing eggs

Would the Question Protein Chips be ok to eat? They have 4g of carbs and 19g of protein. Would help with that chip craving

From what I've been learning, I think those chips would be fine. Just keep track of ur macros through out the day

I am six years out and eat between sixty and eighty grams of protein a day.

it took me over a year to be able to get all of my protein needs met by food only and truthfully I still use protein shakes once in a while if I’m having a day where I’m just not into meat.
