Hi, I need some ideas of what I should and shouldn't be eating. I am struggling to hit the protein target every day. Now I know we all aim for low fat but I am taking Orlistat (prescribed by GP) so I can not have any food with more than 5g per 100g of fat. So that's nuts and seeds out. I can't eat enough meat on its own so then the carbs creep up. HELP!!!!!

    Hey there.

    My usual proteins are:

    Whey Protein in my coffee in the morning
    2oz of tuna in a whole wheat pita
    meat of some sort for lunch (usually a lean cusine meal lol)
    low fat, low sodium cottage cheese for snack
    2oz can of tuna for snack (or a frozen chicken breast)

    I try to have a whey protein smoothie and Greek yogurt everyday. The FF yogurt has 25 grams per 130 calories. The protein powder has 20 for 100 calories. I also usually eat roasted chickpeas for a snack and often have PB2 in my smoothie.
    If you aren't too carb restricted fake crab is pretty good and makes a great snack. Try it as a crab salad with yogurt subbing for mayo.
