    Dry cottage cheese is my favourite!! In egg white omelette, in soup, in chili...
    100 cal .5 fat and 22gm of protein! So awesome!
    I completely stay away from prepackaged bars, meals, etc. Since they arent real food (for me).

    DRY cottage cheese? I have never seen or heard of this. Where do you get it?

    I'm telling you- if you're not allergic and you can get past the "ew" factor for something that has no taste... drink liquid pasteurized egg whites. One cup has 26g protein and can be mixed in ANYTHING liquid.

    is that healthy??

    What's your concern? This type of eggs is pasteurized.

    Eating raw eggs is what's not recommended, yet I have one every day in my smoothie with no problems. (I do source them carefully.)

    I need some help getting more protein in my diet? Any ideas? I currently eat a lot of tuna and chicken but want some more/different options. Thanks

    In addition to the ideas in this thread, there are endless options for cooking chicken. I was going to sub chicken thighs for the pork in Mu Shu Pork but pork was on sale, so am going with that.

    The egg thing? It's fine, but sounds unpleasant. You could always cook those egg whites into an omelet or put them on a sandwich instead.

    Yo talk about chicken, one of my favorite ways to do it right here. I tend to roast several chicken breasts and freeze or refrigerate them for days during the week. I slice them into about 1/4' slices and then prep a seasoning made of curry, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and maybe a little chili powder, coat both sides of the slices in this and heat gently in a little olive oil or butter. Just until it sort of starts crisping a bit.

    It's in the same dairy case as regular cottage cheese, sour cream etc usually at the top. At least where I am! (Alberta, Canada)
