Satisfying protien suggestions

TRUK

I recently just found a butcher shop that sells grass feed bufflo. I bought steaks and ground meat and they taste great not much different than beef and much leaner.

Also don't forget about flank steaks

Oh and check out Kashi GoLean high fiber and protein cereal! 140 calories and 13 g protein.

Yes, I forgot about that, thank you.

Carbs are just not my friend. I need to find protien that is both satisfying and filling. I do eat natural peanut butter. I like low fat cottage cheese but try not to do much dairy. I like nuts but find they aren't as satisfying as I would like them to be. Please share any protien suggestions. I am going to try a protien shake or two and see how that works out. Thank you in advance.

When you say carbs are not your friend, do you mean from a weight loss standpoint or digestion? If it's digestion, have you tried gluten free carbs to see if that helps?

For protein I usually go for soy (soy milk, tofu, edamame, dry roasted), dried beans (so versatile!), fish, lean chicken or pork, and occasionally lean steak. Also, nuts, but you already mentioned those, and low fat cheese in moderation.

Fat free Greek yogurt is my new best friend. The process of making yogurt removes most of the lactose and it's really high in protein: 18 grams of protein for a 6 oz. serving with 100 calories. And it's so versatile!

Ooo...what brand??

Fage. Costco carries it in the 4 cup container for about $5.

Hummus with raw veggies.

I have a very high protein diet and lower carbs... Here aer some things I am never without:

1. Fage 0% greek yogurt --- I sometimes clean out the shelves at target for this stuff. Trader Joe's 0% is good too. It makes a great sour cream substitute for dips etc --- but i like it sweet! You can add a zillion different things... I use truvia or agave to sweeten, walnut, chia/flax seed, sugar-free pudding mixes for flavor, coffee creamer flavors to thin it, banana pudding mix + PB2 (powdered peanut butter), differeny protein powders, tiny bits of jello mix, pumpkin puree/cinnamin/nutmeg --- if you get the good greek yogurt, its easily 15-25g of protein in a cup and very little sugar -- and its quite filling.

2. Rotisserie chicken or turkey pot roast - i'm lazy! The supermarket makes these and I always have one in the fridge. If I get the urge to snack, I snack on chicken..its easy and I don't have to cook and its good col.

3. Shrimp -- I could live on shrimp -- grilled, baked, broiled, cold... make it into salad, put it in curry, toss over quinoa -- yum

4. Veggie puree -- while this isn't really protein, its a great way to get your veggies and makes a perfect dip for meats/seafood. If you use beans, you're even getting protein!

5. Beans, quinoa, eggs

6. Lots of protein shakes! I am a huge coffee fan so i mix chocolate protein with decaf coffee and a scoop of click espresso protein and silk almond milk (35 cals a cup) and lots of ice in a blender bottle.

Yum. Thanks for taking the time to write all of these tips. I will use them. What kind of beans would you use in your veggie puree? I have a veggie juice (fresh) every day. I would like to use more beans but dont know much about how to use them. Thank you.

I randomly saw someone post something about it on these forums and I tried it and loved it.

Tuna (or chicken, or egg, or etc...) Salad:
- 1 can tuna (as low sodium as possible) drained
- 4 tbsp Hummus of your choice
- Dash of salt, pepper, or other spices of your choosing
- 1 tsp of worchestershire (I have no idea how to spell it) sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil

(Replace tuna with eggs or chicken or both or neither or all)



For me it yielded:
280 calories
18 grams of fat
26 grams of protein
8 grams of carbs
2 grams of fiber
600 mg of sodium




I have been putting it on a bagel but you could use it as a dip or put it on whatever you want.

I like eggs and yogurt.

I always keep some hard boiled eggs on hand for some quick protien. I usually mix it up in a little egg salad type thing (using diced up pickles and yogurt instead of mayo) or I did slice it up one time and ate it on crackers with cucumber.

Yogurt is also something I keep on hand. I make my own yogurt so it's not loaded down with sugars and I mix it with mainly fruit (great way to get more fruit in) and use it in my smoothies all the time.
