I posted the same thing yesterday. I recieved alot of feedback check out the forum it is under I need some stage 2 food ideas. HELP!!!!!! I'm posting my ideas as I come up with them too! Good luck! Hang in there it is SOOOOOOOOOO hard. I am hungry!

I made some split pea soup and pureed it in the blender-lots of protein and even got some sweetness from the carrots. I also sauteed a chicken breast with lots of seasonings-salt, pepper, garlic, herbs and then pureed it in the food processor. Also roasted a turkey breast in the oven with lots of seasonings (I was so desperate for flavor after the week of liquids!) and pureed that. I had a couple tablespoons with mashed potatoes and pureed roasted carrots and fat free gravy made from broth and i was in HEAVEN!!! Good luck.

Mashed potatoes aren't really a good option as there is no real Protein there. If you can try baking some tilipia. It's soft enough that it basically falls apart when baked and a 4oz pc is 22 grams of protein.

Or cottage cheese -- 4 oz is 11 grams of protein

eggs -- anywhere from 6 to 8 grams of protein depending on the size of the egg

chicken salad -- bake your chicken and mix with a little yogurt or lite mayo to make a wet chicken salad...very good protein levels.

Good luck.

My favorite was when I made a pot roast for the family, I threw some into the blender for me w/ a little bit of gravy until it was the consistency of tuna or chicken salad. Ate w/ some mashed carrots and potatoes, so good!

Another good one for your sweet tooth is to mix a package of sugar free orange Gelatin w/ a container of low fat cottage cheese and a container of low fat whip cream, mix well and let set for a few hours in the fridge. So good, low carb, low fat and packed with Protein from the cottage cheese! Love this recipe!

I've heard ricotta mixed w/ Peanut Butter tasted like cheesecake, but never tried it myself.

Orange mushie sounds good!
