I never even come close to the amount of protein it says to have in a day. Any suggestions for foods that tast good and have protine.

    you could keep hard boiled eggs in your fridg. they have 6 g per egg. add some protein powder to your smoothies. you can get it in diff flavors. yogurt (the kind without a ton of added sugar) has a good amount of protein too. there's a pretty wide selection of protein bars too. kashi makes a whole grain granola bar that has 7 g per bar, and they're only about $3.50 for a box of 6.

    I'm afraid I have the opposite problem, I'm constantly going over on my protein! Seems like almost EVERYTHING has protein, but especially meat and peanut butter, which I LOVE!

    Boost Shakes or Potein bars

    Both taste pretty good, at least to me!

    Thank you for all of the suggestions. I do eat meat on occasion but not a ton. I love Salmon and chicken but even with those everyday I still do not come close. I am usally at about 50 per day with really trying to get protein in my diet. Is it bad to be under?

    I'd say your better off being over than under and you should make an effort to reach your daily target

    Our bodies are still as they were in gave man days, when times were good there was alot of meat, (protien), I think the body responce to the new life style better if it sees times as being good, hence healty amounts of protien.
