    Protein smoothies, eggs, and meat mostly. I'm looking for more creative ideas to add variety too.

    I'm vegetarian so I eat edamame or other beans, lentil patties and quinoa.

    I really need to try the edamame, it looks like there are a lot of ways to fix it!

    Sludge made with casein, two types of yogurt, FF cream cheese, and other miscellaneous additions to make macros work.

    Do you just blend it all together?

    Yeap. Here's my current favorite:

    16g natural chunky PB
    100g ff regular yogurt (or ff greek if I need more p and less c)
    25g ff cream cheese
    100g canned pumpkin
    40g vanilla casein
    100g 1% cottage cheese
    8g sf/ff cheesecake jello pudding mix

    Mix it all together, hit it with an immersion blender until all of the curds from the cottage cheese are gone, then toss it in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour.

    It looks like hell, due to the orange from the pumpkin, but it's damned delicious, and it takes on a thick ice cream like consistency when put in the freezer.

    Sounds interesting, but I'm game to try it. Probably has the texture of ricotta cheesecake. Pumpkin flavored has to be good.

    Can you give it a better name then "sludge"? :) The recipe sounds good but the name not so good:).

    Eggs, meat, and a daily protein bar*, primarily.


    * I figure that if I'm going to want something sweet to snack on, it might was well be a 200ish Calorie bar with 20ish g of protein, as opposed to a 250+ candy bar with maybe 4 g of protein.

    I'm mostly pescatarian. Tilapia, yellow fin, catfish, salmon, cod, tuna. Sushi rolls with black rice or brown rice and cavier, the best! I wish I could eat more dairy, but I'm lactose intolerant, yogurt and whey gives me gas.

    Chicken, whey protein, greek yogurt, eggs/egg whites, protein bars, red meat.
    I get anywhere from 180-220 grams of protein per day.

    For me it's whey isolate, usually some chicken or tuna, and more chicken or turkey. Occasionally red meat of some sort. I try to do about half of my intake with whey isolate because it's easier for me to digest than tons of solid protein so I usually have a 60g shake early in the morning to get a head start on it.
