What are some food suggestions for getting more protein in my diet? I have high cholesterol so I have to limit eating meat and dairy. Thanks!

    my diary

    over 200g every day

    Stick to leaner cuts of meat.

    Blood lipids typically improve with weight loss also.

    Protein powders are awesome. I agree with the above. I don't supplement with them very often because I get protein from soy products, but the powders are a great bridge to fill that gap with little impact in other areas.

    non-fat or lowfat dairy
    beans and lentils
    whole grains
    moderate amounts of nut, nut butters, and seeds
