if i eat all my calories

Treask40

i go over on usually fat and or carbs. I cannot seem to find the right thing to get protein calories. I have tried protein bars.. I can hardly choke them down. I do not have a blender for shakes. What do some of you do to balance this out?

plan your day accordingly with appropriate foods that wont send you over.

I have the opposite problem... I am always over on my protein.

I tend to go over on Carbs on a regular basis...

Maybe eat more salady stuff with less carbs?
As they said, try and plan the food more if you are keeping a close check, I just watch the calories, would go bananas if I kept track of the other nutrients as well: :ohwell: grumble:
Still losing though :bigsmile:

I start my day with one cup of Special K protein plus cereal and 1/2 cup of 2% milk. That's 17grams of protein right there....

Try almonds, eggs, chicken, tuna, cheese, peanut butter ect.....

lots of good places to get protein:

lean meats
fish
shrimp
milk/yogurt/cheese (non-fat cottage cheese is very good with 7 grams per 1/2 cup)
eggs (6 grams per egg and most of that is in the whites)
nuts
sprouts
beans

If you're looking for supplements there are protein powders that can be mixed with smoothies, oatmeal, etc.

Chicken, chicken, chicken!!! Also go to GNC, they have some really great protein powders that even my wife likes!!! Low Carb (they have zero carb), high protein. It's a great way to cheat when you need protein. You can get a 40-60 gram blast of protein with no side effects, haha!!
