Protein Goals

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for advice to reach my protein goals without having to drink protein shakes multiple times a day

    If you can tolerate dairy, unsweetened greek yogurt is a good choice. I routinely keep protein powder to breakfast and almost never shakes. I make pancakes, waffles and keto muffins with it. Turkey burgers and chicken are great for batch cooking and having at lunch.

    @teogvasalia3 my daughter in law is vegan, many choices available. If you like I can send you a list of great products.

    Cottage Cheese (2%), low-fat (2%) Greek yogurt, either plain, or I like either the Too Good brand cups (black cherry, peach, lemon, mixed berry) or light n fit greek yogurt cups (more dessert like, my favorites are the apple pie and the key lime, but most of the flavors are good, of the ones I've tried I only didn't like banana creme pie and tiramisu). I do egg white with whole eggs, 1 -2 eggs with 2-3 whites. Add low fat cheese and cubed ham or turkey or chicken sausage.

    Also, meat. Chicken, leaner beef, pork, turkey, bison. Fish of all kinds, I prefer a flakey white fish or canned tuna. Shrimp is a protein bomb.

    So for an example day

    Breakfast: egg/white scramble with ham/sausage and cheese and veg. You can meal prep these as egg bites/frittata.

    Lunch: drained can of tuna mixed with 1/2 cup cottage cheese, celery seed, garlic, salt, pepper, a little lemon juice, diced cucumbers and onions, all served in a low-car wrap or over a bed of greens.

    Supper: grilled or roasted piece of meat seasoned however you like, with a roasted veg side or however you want vegetables.

    Greek yogurt cup as a snack or dessert.

    Can easily top 100g protein without too much work.
