Allergic to Fish? What do you do for Protien?

JillMaddox

I am really allergic. I mean REALLY. I try to limit my red meat, so that means a lot of turkey and chicken. I have no desire to go vegan.

Some suggestions? What I really need are protien suggestions.

Red meat is ok in moderation, lean poultry is always a good choice, but can get kind of boring if that's all you have.

Some other sources (besides fish)??

-Eggs
-Greek Yogurt
-Tofu
-Quinoa
-Almonds and Almond Butter
-Flaxseed/Whey & Soy Supplements
-Low-Fat Cottage Cheese

My EAS protein shake has 17 grams of protein nd only 170 calories. I add frozen, no sugar added fruit or fresh fruit a few ice cubes and throw it in a blender after my workout in the am, and it keeps me going for a bit.

Don't forget about the other white meat - PORK!

Great list! I'd also add Saytan (made from wheat gluten) to the list - sounds odd, but it's delicious, and high in protein. You can buy it pre-made or make your own pretty easily. (I actually like it better than tofu). I'm not vegan/vegetarian, but like throwing in some of the non-meat protein sources to mix up my meals.

Regarding eggs - it's a good idea to buy some egg whites (they sell them in cartons next to the eggs) - I add 1/4 to 1/2 a cup to one or two whole eggs for an omelet - it adds extra protein without the extra fat.

Legumes are a great source of protein and fiber too. Any type of beans, peas, lentils, garbanzo beans, etc..

Tempeh, is great made from whole soybeans.

you're so right, a pork chop has 22 grams of protein in it.

milk,(1 cup is 8 grams) cheese, eggs(large egg is 6 grams) ,tofu (1/2 cup has 20 grams) 4 oz of pork tenderloin will give you 29 grams, steak (6oz is 42 grams) chickn breast 3.5 oz (30 grams) soybeans (1/2 cup 15 grams) your best bean for protein. Yogurt can be a good source, but you have to really read the labels i've seen some as low as 3 grams and some as high as 14 grams.

I'm not allergic to fish, but I just don't like it. Also, there's too much mercury in fish anyway. Shop for a good whey protein drink - add fruits, be creative! Beans are also a good source, if you like them.

I agree with everyone here. I also like to supplement with balance bars and boost or ensure shakes. They have a good amount of protein without added artificial sweeteners, which I'm allergic to. I'm also a vegetarian, so looking for protein can be hard. I recommend:

Tofu
Tempeh
Soy Miklk
Eggs
Cottage Cheese
Nuts
Yogurt
Hummus
