I am having a hard time getting my recommended 60g of protein a day now. I refuse to drink any more Unjury. Just the smell makes me gag. Any suggestions on how you get all your protein in? Some days I may skip breakfast just because I am not hungry at all, so I think that is where I am falling short of meeting my goals.

Have you considered how important breakfast really is? Trust me, I wasn't a breakfast eater before this process (I'm in dr. ordered behavior modification classes prior to surgery). If nothing else you can get your protein from egg white omelets w/ veggies and a little no fat cheese; check out Shaklee's Cinch Shakes (see link below) 20 grams each; and of course get a cookbook on a variety of ways to prepare fish and chicken. I am loving roasted or blackened chicken! All the best to you.

Mnn2501, at only eating 1/2 - 3/4 cup of food for each meal, I have real difficulty getting in 60 - 90 grams of Protein a day! (i.e. Had a small sausage for breakfast today and was absolutely stuffed and it was all of 6 grams of protein!)

I have such great restriction that I have to supplement my daily with shakes (not replace meals, just supplement them). :ohmy:

I have a Protein question. Are there any powders out there that can be mixed with hot substances such as coffee, soups, etc.? I seem to get warm things down better than cold.

The Beneprotein powder can be added to both cold and hot liquids/soft foods supposedly without altering the taste...I just ordered some the other day so I guess I'll find out for sure in a couple days when it gets delivered!:ohmy:

Have you tried cottage cheese, it is high in Protein and calcium. I practically lived on it while on the mushy stage and now still eat at least half a cup a day. Egg beaters are also fairly high in protein and have much less fat than eggs. I like the southwestern flavor with a little taco sauce on top I have trouble staying under 100 grams per day. I eat deli shaved meats (very slowly and chew well) with a little mustard for flavor also. Peanut Butter is also a lifesaver for me, eat it with a little applesauce so it's not so sticky.

Since I have never been an early morning eater, I drink a Protein shake for breakfast (I like Unjury) Use a staw so you can't smell it. Mix with skim milk. Muscle Milk Light works in a pinch. That gets me 20-28 grams to start the day. If you pour a canned shake like Atkins into a glass it loses some of it's tinny taste.

Sorry if I have gone on too long, these are just some tips I've picked up in my many years of dieting and my few weeks of band rules.

Have a great day and good luck to all.

Try worldwide sport drinks at thevitaminshoppee.com. A 12 pack of their ready to drink cans are olny 19.99 (they are on sale now!) They are really good tasting. Much better than most. 11 oz can has 35g protien 2 grams carbs 160 cal. and 10 cal from fat. I like banana creme.
