What do you eat for protein?

Meat (this includes fish and shellfish), lowfat dairy (especially cottage cheese and greek yogurt), eggs, beans, plus some in cheese and oats/other grains and occasionally protein powder (I like it in oatmeal, mainly) or a Quest bar.
If you are concerned with getting more protein without increasing calories leaner meats like chicken and turkey, most fish, many cuts of pork and beef and lamb, and of course game can be helpful. I don't eat a lot of higher fat meats like sausage and do like lowfat dairy, so I tend not to worry about it too much and go for variety vs. endless skinless chicken breast.0 -

Love it. I love Trader Joe's spicy hummus because I do not like bland. You could probably replica that. Or make beet hummus or sweet potato hummus.0

I did an experiment a long time ago, and went off beef for an entire year. I had blood work done before I started and had it done after (1 year) My bad cholesterol decreased by half and my triglycerides were down 70 points! That was without exercise changes or other food choices. That's why I limit my steak to 2 or 3 times a year, just so chicken and shrimp don't get gross to me. I am thinking about adding turkey sausage to my eggs in the AM.
