This is a new creation I came up with. I am trying to spice up my low carb foods a little. This recipe reminds me of Tuna Helper without the noodles.

Ingredients:

1 small can of tuna in Water, drained well

1 Tbsp. sour cream

2 Tbsp. milk

1/4 cup shredded cheese (whatever kind you prefer)

Put milk, sour cream, and shredded cheese in a small microwavable bowl and microwave for about 1 to 1&1/2 minutes. Stir until creamy. If it's too thick add a splash more milk, if it's too thin add a little more cheese. Mix in tuna well and enjoy!

Try a can of tuna with some whipped cream cheese or the fat free block cream cheese & use it kinda like a cheeseball & serve with celery or high fiber crackers. It is tasty!

I am going to try this soon. It sounds terrific!

Hi all -

I am enjoying reading through all of the recipes.

I was just banded and still on the liquid stage, but I was just wondering, how do you keep track of your Protein intake. We need 60 grams a day. Do you actually keep a journal? Weigh your foods? Obviously I am thinking ahead now cause it easy now tracking protein because I am drinking the shakes, but once I start with real foods I am nervous about this.

Thanks!

I too pretty much adhere to the low carb way of eating. Since I do this, I pretty much just keep a running total of my protein in my head. If you figure about all I eat is protein and veggies, then the protein is really easy to track on a given day since I'm not having to worry with carbs to any given extent.

This tuna recipe sounds really good and I can add dairy in 5 more days! :cursing: So, I will definitely give it a shot then. Thanks for the idea.
